Restoring Mobility with Red Light Therapy
Pets Were Born to Move
Missy was barely walking, had extreme difficulty standing up and could not properly squat to toilet. Luma treatment has been like a night and day difference in assisting her recovery! After just the 2nd treatment she started to run just a few steps because she actually wanted to! Now, 2 months later and use is squatting on her own again! Not perfectly, but she’s almost there! It is amazing to see, and she gets stronger every day!
With Gratitude,

One day, your pet is chasing squirrels and bouncing onto the sofa. Then, without warning, they’re hesitating at the stairs, or pausing before jumps. Mobility issues don’t just slow pets down—they rob them of the joy of being themselves.
Arthritis, dysplasia, post-surgery stiffness, or injuries like sprains—each can quietly diminish your pet’s quality of life. But invasive procedures or lifelong medications aren’t your only options. Red light therapy, backed by science, offers a proven, soothing, at-home approach to reclaiming movement and comfort.
Understanding Mobility Issues in Pets
Max
Mobility challenges in pets come in many forms. Arthritis makes joints stiff and painful. Hip dysplasia causes discomfort with every step. Surgical recovery can slow down your pet’s energy and enthusiasm, while strains and sprains abruptly halt their playtime.
These conditions share common symptoms:
Reluctance to climb stairs or jump
Visible stiffness after rest
Reduced enthusiasm for walks and play
Limping or favoring one side
Early intervention can transform outcomes, reducing pain and restoring agility.
“In 2021 Max was crying in pain and was having trouble walking and getting up. He was diagnosed with compressed cervical discs and spondylosis. Max’s condition was severe, and he was 125 lbs. Getting him up and moving could be a monumental task. I was horrified that I might lose him after this diagnosis. Then my vet suggested the Luma. The Luma greatly assisted him. After his treatments he was able to get up and move around more freely without help. He enjoyed his walks, playing with his ball and riding in the car again. Unfortunately, Max passed in February last year, but the Luma gave me 3 more beautiful years with my Soul Dog Max. I am very grateful. Thanks Luma!” -Patricia Vyolet Albano

Real results, grounded in research. No guesswork. Just measurable improvements in your pet’s mobility and comfort.
“The Luma therapy was instrumental in improving Panda’s quality of life her last few months. She was able to climb stairs again and go for short walks which she was unable before Luma therapy.” -Jacquie
Elbow Arthritis: Dogs treated with red light therapy significantly reduced their pain and halved their need for medications.
Post-Surgical Recovery: Dogs recovering from spinal surgeries regained mobility faster when treated with therapeutic light.

Bone Healing: Cats with delayed healing after fractures showed marked improvement with consistent light therapy treatments.
“The Luma was – and is – a critical part of Bruin’s overall arthritis care. Luma helps our senior dog to stay mobile. As Bruin’s pain becomes more manageable, we are so happy to see him beginning to enjoy his much-loved walks again!” -Barbara Owens

Luma is easy to use and convenient to pack for vacations. We spend a few days at Barkswell DogResort in North Carolina this past summer and found myself recommending Luma to another guest with 2 elder Labradors with arthritis
Great product..worth the price”

Noel
Recovery from broken femur in front right leg with nerve damage and recovery from TPLO in right rear leg.
“The Luma helped Noel recover through multiple operations as an 8-week-old puppy. Noel’s leg was severely broken when her original owner stepped on her. I adopted Noel as the original owner could not afford the surgeries needed. Noel also had severe nerve damage. The Luma was used for several weeks to help with bone and nerve healing. I purchased a Luma because I expected Noel would need the Luma treatment for arthritis throughout her life. I can use the Luma for a week and it lessens the pain and the need to use pain medications for long periods. I also used the Luma to help her recover from a TPLO on her right rear leg when she was 3 years old.”

Morris Samuel Berry
An orthopedic injury that occurred at 6 months of age.
“At a mere 6 months of age and exuberant Morris tried to steal a toy from his brother. In the process he slipped on the grass, twisted and fell. He let out a scream I will never forget. He damaged his left shoulder, elbow and bicep area. It was a long slow process to figure out and treat his injury. From the onset laser therapy was suggested and I got the Luma. It was so awesome to be able to continue to give him relief and comfort at home in between his many appointments for therapy, acupuncture, shockwave etc. I have continued to treat Morris with the Luma for years now. He is a healthy 8 year old today who still pays for his young craziness with soreness and arthritis. While all is under control compared to the initial onset, he still needs regular treatment with the Luma. Thank You Medcovet for the tools to keep my boy feeling his best!”

Dingo
Spine,knee injuries
“Dingo suffered to spine injury when he was about four years old and is an active Blue Heeler I have tried alternative treatments, acupuncture, Chinese herbs. but what I really wanted was a treatment that I could give Dingo at home on days when he just needed a little bit of help in between other treatments. Gradually it got to where I was only using the Luma device to help him with his mobility issues and now he gets treatments 2 to 3 times a week just to relieve that pain and help him with his mobility. The Luma device is great for at home treatments easy to use and I would recommend it to anybody whether their dog has special needs or not It’s just a great soothing treatment to give your dog at home to show them you care. The payment plan was beneficial to help with getting this device also. I have had one issue with the power cord not working and customer service was quick to respond and send another cord. Overall great device, great customer service!”

Rose
ruptured a disc in her back in 2019 and has some arthritis in her leg joints
“Rose had been getting in-office deep laser treatments from her physical therapist for arthritis in her legs and stiffness in her back after having ruptured a disc a few years ago. The treatments were wonderful, but wore off pretty quickly, so the Luma was suggested. Thanks to the Luma, she gets more frequent treatments in more areas than ever before. She’s able to be pretty active for a nearly 12 year old blind dog whose had this kind of injury and the Luma is essential for that. She can walk longer, sleeps better, and is excited for her walks! The Luma has made a huge improvement in her quality of life!”
