At just 2 years old, Kilo was struggling to breathe. You could see it in his eyes, pulled wide with effort & in every tense movement.

Even in the exam room, as his pet parent recounted the ER visit, it was clear Kilo was begging for relief.

It’s important to remember, this isn’t the dog’s fault. We have an animal welfare problem that already exists.

These are living, feeling dogs who deserve a chance to breathe & thrive. Far too many continue to suffer when solutions are available.

Today, with minimally invasive CO2 laser procedures, general practices like ours can gently open the airway with less bleeding, less swelling, & a quicker recovery.

Kilo’s frightening ER moment is sadly all too common. That’s why early recognition matters. If a symptom doesn’t seem normal, please get it checked early with your veterinarian.
