This is a laser therapy review of the FDA-cleared My Pet Laser 2.0 product, providing an expert evaluation of its effectiveness and safety as a therapeutic tool for pets.

Photobiomodulation (PBM), also called red light therapy, low-level laser therapy, LED therapy, cold laser, and near-infrared therapy, refers to the same therapeutic category using light energy to influence cellular biology.

Is the My Pet Laser 2.0 a good choice for treating pets at home?

The My Pet Laser 2.0 appears to be a strong but expensive at-home laser therapy device for pets. It stands out for its mix of red, infrared, and superpulsed infrared wavelengths, which the review says helps it treat through fur better than many competitors. Its biggest downsides are the high price, small spot size for larger treatment areas, and lack of app-based treatment tracking or live clinical guidance.

One of our MedcoVet prescribers recently asked us to review the  MultiRadiance My Pet Laser 2.0® at-home laser therapy solution for pets. At a retail price of $5995, the big question is how does it stack up to other devices on the market and is it worth the higher price tag?

This product is designed to help pets and their owners get back to doing the things they love, like playing, walking, or simply spending quality time together, by providing effective pain relief and supporting recovery.

This summary explores three key questions when reviewing the device:

• Can it do the job? – Are the device parameters inline with veterinary guidelines
• How long does it take? – How long will it take to give treatment (not all pets are patient)
• How do I know what to do? – How much technical and clinical support accompany the device

Introduction to Laser Therapy

Laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation therapy, is transforming the way clinicians and pet owners approach pain relief and healing. By harnessing the power of light energy, this non-invasive treatment stimulates cellular processes, helping to reduce pain, accelerate tissue repair, and support natural recovery—all without the need for drugs or invasive procedures.

Multi Radiance Medical stands at the forefront of this technology, offering advanced solutions like super pulsed laser therapy and Target Technology. These innovations allow for precise targeting of affected areas, ensuring that energy is delivered exactly where it’s needed for maximum effectiveness. According to Carol Dobson, a respected authority in the field, laser therapy is a powerful tool for managing chronic pain and promoting healing in both humans and animals.

In sports medicine, laser therapy has become a go-to option for treating conditions such as muscle strains, arthritis, and spine injuries. Its ability to provide fast, effective pain relief and support the body’s natural healing processes makes it especially valuable for active pets and those recovering from injury. The technology’s versatility means it can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, from acute injuries to chronic pain, without the risks associated with other drugs.

Recent pulsed laser therapy reviews highlight the growing popularity of this approach among clinicians and patients alike. Veterinarians (DVMs) and chiropractors have found laser therapy to be an effective, easy-to-use addition to their practices, delivering results that both pets and their owners love. With minimal side effects and no downtime, laser therapy offers a safe, natural way to manage pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being.

As more research is published and more clinicians accumulate experience with laser therapy, its reputation as a powerful, effective, and worth-considering treatment continues to grow. Whether you’re looking to treat arthritis, muscle injuries, or spine conditions, or simply want to support your pet’s ability to heal naturally, laser therapy is an option that delivers real results—making it a standout choice in today’s world of veterinary and sports medicine.

Can It Do the Job? 

Getting Light to the Area That Needs It

As with any device, the main question is “can it get the job done and get therapeutic outcomes”.  We looked at three key parameters to answer this question.

Wavelengths

Wavelengths are one of the most important factors in light therapy, as they determine how well light penetrates tissues. The right wavelength has a MUCH bigger impact on penetration than power, so that’s why it’s first on our list.

My Pet Laser 2.0 uses three key wavelengths:

• 660nm (Red): Targets surface-level tissues, promoting healing in the skin and superficial areas
• 850nm (Infrared): Penetrates deeper to help with muscle, tendon, and joint issues.
• 905nm (Superpulsed Infrared): Allows for even deeper tissue penetration while minimizing heat buildup.
  

These wavelengths are standard in veterinary light therapy and help ensure comprehensive treatment across multiple tissue layers.

Treating Through Fur

One of the challenges in pet laser therapy is getting light through the fur.   In general about 80% of light gets lost in the fur which makes most devices on the market pretty useless.

MultiRadiance gets credit for being one of the few devices on the market that solve the “fur problem.”  They solve the problem with “superpulsing”. Instead of having a constant stream of light, Multi-radiance emits very short very high-powered super pulses, which enable penetration through the fur. The peak power of the My Pet Laser is 25,000mW which increases the penetration depth.

How Long Does it Take

When evaluating treatment times, dosage typically uses average power instead of the peak power mentioned above.

Power/Power Density

My Pet Laser 2.0 offers a total average power of 320mW for its non-superpulsed light. For super pulsed light, the average power is lower than the peak power mentioned above. We have reached out to MultiRadiance to better understand the average power of the My Pet Laser 2.0 and if dosage is calculated differently with super-pulsed light sources.

Treatment Times

Time per Spot

At present, the World Association of Laser Therapy (WALT) has draft dosage guidelines for both superpulsed and non-superpulsed devices. The My Pet Laser’s treatment times of 30 seconds – 4 minutes per spot, align with WALT’s dosage guidelines.

Small vs. Large Treatment Areas

The My Pet Laser 2.0 has a 4 cm² spot size (~0.63 inches²⁾. For smaller spots like points around the stifle this spot size works great. It is unclear how the spot size impacts treatment for larger treatment areas (e.g. treating large portions of the spine for IVDD). We have reached out to MultiRadiance and are waiting on a response.

How Do I Know I’m Doing It Right

Support and Guidance

Using an advanced device like the My Pet Laser 2.0 can raise questions about proper usage, especially when dealing with pets. Per their website, “Within the My Rx Laser platform, pet owners will have access to everything they need to perform successful treatments: a suite of online resources, from unboxing, basic knobology, FAQs, and anatomy-specfic [sic] treatment videos.”

• Clinical Support: While the device is well-supported by clinical research, it does not offer a connected app for tracking treatments or communicating with your vet. The device can also be used alongside chiropractic care for a holistic approach to managing your pet’s musculoskeletal health.
• Tailored Protocols: The My Pet Laser 2.0 is customizable in terms of adjusting settings, but there is no live guidance feature to help tailor protocols based on your pet’s progress.
• Updated Protocols: Since there is no integrated app, updating protocols based on your pet’s progress requires manual communication with your veterinarian.

Clinicians and veterinarians report that the TARGET technology helps identify precise treatment areas, leading to faster recovery times.

Technical Support

The My Pet Laser 2.0 is built to be reliable, but like any medical device, technical issues could arise. There is no real-time troubleshooting feature available via an app, so pet owners must rely on customer support or clinic resources for assistance.

Clinical Summary

Mechanism:
The My Pet Laser 2.0 uses photobiomodulation through 660 nm red, 850 nm infrared, and 905 nm superpulsed infrared light. These wavelengths are intended to support tissue-level signaling associated with pain modulation, circulation, and healing across superficial and deeper targets.

Evidence level:
Moderate for musculoskeletal and pain-related veterinary use, based on the device’s clinically grounded wavelength profile, FDA-cleared positioning described in the article, and broader support for laser therapy in veterinary settings. Evidence quality still varies by condition, dosing, target depth, and treatment consistency.

When it works best:
Best suited for owners who need stronger penetration through fur, want coverage across superficial and deeper tissues, and are treating localized targets where a 4 cm² spot size is practical. It is likely strongest for musculoskeletal pain, joint issues, and recovery-focused use cases where repeat treatments are realistic.

When not to use:
Do not use without veterinary oversight for suspected cancer, serious infection, photosensitivity concerns, pregnancy, or any condition needing diagnosis or urgent medical treatment. It is also a weaker fit for owners who want a low-cost device, large-area treatment efficiency, or live app-based protocol guidance.
