Because They Deserve Relief
Cats are masters at hiding pain, but they are just as susceptible to injury and aging-related discomfort as any other pet. If your feline friend is moving less, struggling to jump, or displaying other signs of pain, they may benefit from laser therapy. At Columbia Pike Animal Hospital in Annandale, we offer advanced pain relief for cats through pet laser therapy. This safe, drug-free treatment reduces inflammation and speeds up healing to help your cat feel more comfortable. Call us today at (703) 256-8414.

Signs Your Cat May Be in Pain
Because cats tend to hide discomfort, it’s important to watch for changes in their behavior. Signs of pain may include:
- Decreased appetite
- Reduced activity or reluctance to jump
- Difficulty standing or walking
- Excessive grooming or licking a specific area
- Hiding more than usual
- Increased vocalization (meowing, yowling)
- Shaking or trembling
- Pawing at the face or mouth
If you suspect your cat is in pain, our team will conduct a comprehensive physical exam and may perform additional diagnostics such as blood tests or imaging. Our goal is to develop a treatment plan that alleviates your cat’s discomfort and enhances their quality of life. Call us at (703) 256-8414 to schedule an appointment.
