Helmwood and North Hardin Veterinary Clinics are committed to providing state-of-the-art veterinary care. We are one of the first facilities in our area to offer the benefits of laser surgery for your pet. The Carbon Dioxide Laser produces an invisible beam of light, which heats and vaporizes tissue almost instantaneously without any physical contact. This is done so precisely that the normal surrounding tissues are hardly affected. Pet surgery is made gentler with laser surgery.

The laser does not tear, crush or bruise tissue due to the lack of physical contact. It is able to seal nerve endings and small blood vessels as it "cuts." The combined effect of laser surgery provides the following benefits:

less pain
less bleeding
less swelling
reduced risk of infection
faster recovery

Laser surgery procedure

One of the most remarkable advantages of laser surgery is the ability to perform a Laser Declaw. This new technique is much more humane than the traditional method of declawing as it dramatically decreases the pain involved. Cats return to normal activity soon after the procedure.

This website will provide you with more information about laser surgery and the benefits it provides to your pet.
