Frequently Asked Questions
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Most pet parents notice their dog relaxing more and moving with less hesitation within the first 1–2 weeks of daily use. More significant improvements in mobility typically develop over 3–4 weeks. Winter stiffness tends to respond well to consistent daily sessions.
What's the Difference Between 660nm and 850nm?
660nm red light works at the surface — healing skin, hot spots, and post-surgical sites. 850nm near-infrared penetrates deep through fur and tissue to reach joints, discs, and bones — this is where chronic pain and inflammation lives. Using both together is why it works where single-wavelength devices fail.
Can I Use it On Cats Or On Other Pets?
Yes — the same wavelengths that support dogs also benefit cats and other small animals. The pad is gentle enough for daily use on any pet experiencing joint stiffness, soreness, or recovering from injury.
How Often Should my Pet Use The Pad?
For best results, we recommend one 15-minute session per day. For more chronic stiffness, especially during cold winter mornings, you can use it twice daily.
Is It Safe For All Pets?
Yes! Red light therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that has been used in veterinary medicine for decades. It produces a gentle, soothing warmth that most dogs find very relaxing—they often fall asleep during their session!
How Do I Clean The AuraPaw Red Light Comfort Mat?
The pad features a pet-friendly, wipeable surface. Simply use a damp cloth to clean off any fur or dirt after use.
Does My FurBaby Need To Stay Still?
Most dogs settle naturally once the pad is on — the gentle warmth is calming. You can secure it with the strap while they rest on their bed or the couch. No need to hold them down or restrain them at all.
