Why Red Light Therapy Is Safe and Essential
Red light therapy often gets lumped into the same “light exposure” category as other wavelengths, but its effects on the body are completely different from blue light. Instead of overstimulating or disrupting your biological rhythms, red and near-infrared wavelengths work with your body’s natural processes to restore balance and promote healing.

Is red light therapy safe for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals?
Can it help chronic conditions in animals?
Yes. Red light therapy supports long-term healing, reduces inflammation, and helps maintain joint and muscle health for chronic conditions like arthritis, gut issues, and older injuries.
Can red light therapy help with arthritis and joint pain in pets?
Absolutely. Studies show red light therapy can reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and ease stiffness. DogSol blankets and CatSol pads are often used to support arthritis relief, hip dysplasia, and mobility issues in small pets; while EquiSol equine gear is made to support joint comfort, the hooves, the legs, and all over performance in horses.
How soon will I see results with RLT?
Many horse and pet owners report noticeable improvements in mobility, wound healing, and inflammation within the first few sessions. Serious injuries like tendon or ligament issues may show measurable progress within weeks. We have even had dogs go from paralyzed to walking again.
Can I use it alongside other treatments?
Absolutely. Red light therapy complements traditional veterinary care, medications, physical therapy, and supplements. In fact, combining treatments like PRP injections with red light therapy has shown accelerated healing in tendon injuries.
Does red light therapy create heat on the body?
No. Red light therapy does not create a thermal effect, as proven by science. Unlike heat-based treatments, it will not overheat soft tissue. It only stimulates circulation. The horse, dog, or other small animal may feel slightly warm after a session, but no actual heat is formed.
How often should I use red light therapy?
For most injuries or conditions, daily sessions are recommended. Chronic issues may benefit from consistent use over several weeks, while acute injuries often show improvement within the first few sessions.
Do I need to be trained to use the device?
No specialized training is needed. EquiSol products are user-friendly, wireless, and rechargeable, allowing you to safely treat your horse at home.
Can I skip the veterinarian if I use red light therapy?
Red light therapy is a powerful tool but does not replace regular veterinary care. It works best as a safe, daily support to enhance healing, recovery, and overall wellness.
Can red light therapy hurt my horse / dog / pet?
No. Red light therapy is completely safe and non-invasive. Unlike medications or lasers, it cannot cause burns, overdose, or other harmful side effects. It’s gentle enough for daily use yet effective for accelerating healing.
