Our Labrador Cross, Floyd, has now had 8 Laser Therapy sessions with Lol and Paul for the treatment of Chronic Arthritis and Elbow Dysplasia. When Floyd was approx 18 months old he had key hole surgery to remove bits of broken off bone from his elbows as he has pretty much no cartilage. Since then we have had to monitor his exercise, diet and general health over the years to ensure his issues didn’t get too painful for him. Last August, Floyd took a turn for the worse. His right elbow (his worse one from being young) swelled up so much that he couldn’t walk without being in pain, he could no longer bound up on the sofa etc. It was awful. For about 4-5 weeks he had the top dose of metacam and the top dose of pardale (dog cocodemol), but even this didn’t touch the swelling and I couldn’t see anything different with pain management at all. We went to see the surgeon who had done Floyd’s op when he was young (as he is really good) and unfortunately, we were advised that the best we could do for Floyd is pain management for the rest of his life as a replacement joint wasn’t really an option. Obviously, hearing this is awful enough, but that’s where Lol came in. I asked Lol about pain management as a couple of my colleagues pets were having Laser Therapy and she was so professional and knowledgable. Lol simply gave me the information and told me exactly how it works. After speaking with my vet and the surgeon, we thought we may as well try because the cost was so low compared to even having a scan! In summary (after my long story, sorry!), it has been nothing short of a miracle. I get overwhelmed telling people about it as Laser Therapy has truly saved Floyd and he is living the same life he did this time last year, which we never thought he would be able to. After being advised ‘only walks on the lead for very short periods of time’ (which we had to for a while anyway) for the rest of his life was looking promising, to see him bounding about with no after pain is amazing. I cannot thank Lol and Paul enough for their support and knowledge throughout. Especially thank you to the both of them for driving about 35 miles to see Floyd for just a short period time. As Floyd is fearful of anyone new, it has been brilliant to see how Lol puts Floyd at ease every time and he now loves (!) it when ‘Sausage Lady’ visits. Miracle miracle miracle! Thank you to the both of you. If anyone would like further information, feel free to ask. Read Less

The dogs have both improved and no longer are on any drug therapy. I would highly recommend both the Laser therapy & Vet Nurse Direct. Read Less

Vetnurse Direct as been treating my dog Bryan with laser therapy and bandage and dressing changes for the last 2 months after he fell from the bay window and caused a large nasty deep wound which was down to the bone on his back hind leg the results have been truly amazing reducing his healing time by around Six months. Myself and my vet are very happy with the amazing results and just wanted to do all I can do to aid Bryan’s recovery I cannot recommend Vet nurse Direct enough she is truly committed to helping poorly pets and worried pet parents. She as been absolutely amazing with my very energetic young Doberman. I would highly recommend all of the services Vet Nurse offers, Its a five star service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ At a super price give Lorraine and Paul a go you will not be dispointed. Read Less

I can not speak highly enough of this company. They did lazer therapy on my 12 year old Boston Terrier as she was having bad breathing problems so bad the vet had said that they felt it might be time for her to be pts. She had a course of therapy on her neck and hips. The results where amazing she is back to her playful self and the tightness around her neck has gone. She has brachycephalic disease but the therapy has ready helped. The lazer helped her more than I expected. She hardly ever mouth breaths and the vet was shocked how the lazer changed her quality of life. Thank you Read Less
