Introduction to Arthritis
Arthritis is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting dogs, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and a noticeable decline in mobility. While genetics, age, injury, or infection can all play a role, degenerative joint disease—also known as osteoarthritis—is by far the most prevalent form seen in canine companions.
Joint Pain
Chronic discomfort that affects daily activities
Stiffness
Reduced flexibility and range of motion
Quality of Life
Decreased activity and overall well-being
Managing arthritis in dogs requires a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and the underlying disease process. Pain management is essential to help your dog stay active and comfortable, while joint supplements can support cartilage health and slow progression in the early stages. In recent years, laser therapy, including low-level laser therapy and cold laser therapy, has emerged as a powerful tool in the fight against joint pain.
Finally, Safe & Effective Arthritis Pain Management That Works Where Traditional Medicine Falls Short
Arthritic dogs deserve more than a treatment plan that comes with kidney monitoring, liver concerns, and daily pills. Traditional pain medications like NSAIDs work, but for how long—and at what cost to your dog’s long-term health?
NSAIDs Side Effects
Kidney monitoring, liver concerns, and gastrointestinal complications
Limited Duration
Traditional medications only mask pain while damage continues
Expensive Alternatives
Stem cell therapy and PRP require repeated visits and significant expense
Medcovet Luma Changes Everything
This clinical-grade red light therapy device brings the power of low-level laser therapy into your home, delivering effective treatment that targets inflammation at its source, stimulates the healing process, and protects remaining cartilage.

Why Choose Luma for Your Dog’s Joint Pain and Arthritis?
Red light therapy represents a revolutionary approach to arthritis management—one that works alongside or instead of conventional veterinary medicine.
Veterinary-Approved Protocols
Luma isn’t a consumer gadget repackaged with marketing promises. It’s the same technology veterinary professionals use for laser treatment, now available with a personalized treatment plan created by licensed clinicians.
Safe, Drug-Free Alternative
Unlike NSAID therapy that requires regular bloodwork to monitor liver and kidney function, cold laser therapy produces no systemic effects. Pets tolerate treatments easily, and there are no burns, no drug interactions, and no gastrointestinal complications.
Clinical-Grade Power
Luma delivers WALT-approved doses using collimated LED technology that focuses light energy like a laser, without Class IV risks. You get effective treatment at home, on your schedule.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Every pet is different. Your dog’s body condition score, arthritis severity, and affected joints determine the optimal protocol. A licensed clinician designs your dog’s specific treatment sessions, frequency, and placement.
Targets Root Causes
Luma’s therapeutic wavelengths decrease inflammation, boost cellular energy production (ATP), improve blood flow to damaged joints, and help protect against further cartilage breakdown.
How Luma Laser Therapy Works for Arthritis Relief
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) taps into your pet’s mitochondria—the cellular engines that produce energy. More cellular energy means faster tissue repair and reduced inflammation.
1 – Part the fur
Light energy can’t help if it never reaches the skin. Most infrared light bounces off fur, wasting therapeutic potential. Luma’s innovative optical comb parts the hair and positions the device flush against the skin, ensuring maximum light penetration.
2 – Place & Hold
Position the device over affected joints—hips, knees, elbows, spine. The treatment is gentle, and most canine patients relax completely during sessions. There’s no sensation of heat, no discomfort, and no need for sedation or restraint.
3 – Watch Improvement
Luma uses both red light (635nm) and near infrared light (850nm) to deliver comprehensive benefits. Watch inflammation reduce and mobility improve as your dog’s joints receive targeted therapeutic energy.
What Makes Luma Different from Traditional Arthritis Medicine?
When comparing treatment options for managing chronic conditions like arthritis, the differences between pharmaceutical approaches and laser therapy become clear.

Joint Health and Supplements
Supporting your dog’s joint health is crucial, especially for those living with arthritis or at risk for degenerative joint disease. Luma works seamlessly alongside other treatment approaches.
By combining red light therapy with joint supplements and other treatment options, you can help reduce inflammation, improve joint function, and give your dog the best chance at a comfortable, active life.
Joint Supplements
Glucosamine, chondroitin, fatty acids, and hyaluronic acid support cartilage health and natural anti-inflammatory processes.
Exercise & Weight Management
Balanced diet and gentle exercise maintain healthy weight, reducing stress on joints and lowering degeneration risk.
Veterinary Treatments
From prescription medications and physical rehabilitation to advanced therapies like stem cell therapy and platelet rich plasma.

“We used to help reduce Isla, our Bernese Mountain Dog’s neck pain during the healing process and rehab recovery of a C1 fracture. She was on strict rest for 7 months as a young growing puppy with a lot of muscle atrophy so the Luma was beneficial after her PT exercises underwater treadmill therapy to strengthen her muscles.”

Tessie Loo
Arthritis in her spine and hips and neurological issues
“I used the Luma in the final months of my 17 yo Tessie Loo’s life. She had developed pretty severe arthritis in her spine and hips, and a neurological condition that was affecting her balance and stability. I’d use the Luma daily along her spine, on her hips and her head. It didn’t reverse anything for her but I do believe it made her final months much more comfortable and kept her mobile to her final day.”

Many pet parents notice their dogs moving more comfortably within a few weeks of consistent treatment sessions. Dogs with earlier-stage arthritis often respond faster, while those with advanced degenerative joint disease may need longer to show significant improvement. Your clinician will help set realistic expectations based on your dog’s condition.
Absolutely. Red light therapy is non-invasive and completely safe for dogs at all stages of IVDD, including those with paralysis. In fact, it can support nerve regeneration and is often used alongside other recovery treatments. Always follow your personalized treatment plan.
Absolutely. Luma works safely alongside NSAIDs, joint supplements, and other prescription medications. Many veterinarians recommend combining red light therapy with existing protocols to manage pain more effectively and potentially reduce reliance on medications over time.
NSAIDs provide pain relief by blocking inflammatory compounds but come with potential kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal side effects requiring monitoring. Red light therapy reduces inflammation through cellular mechanisms—boosting ATP, modulating inflammatory markers, and improving blood flow—without systemic risks. Many dogs benefit from both approaches used together.
While research shows strong response rates to photobiomodulation, every pet is different. Our rental option lets you evaluate results before purchasing. Your clinician monitors progress and can adjust protocols. If Luma isn’t right for your situation, you’re not locked into anything.
Your pet receives a personalized treatment plan created by a licensed veterinary clinician, included free with every Luma. You’ll have ongoing access to clinician support through our platform, combining professional oversight with at-home convenience. For complex cases involving shockwave therapy, stem cells, or invasive procedures, we always recommend working with your primary veterinarian.
