Can red light therapy improve your dog’s health?

In this episode of The Alternative Dog Moms, we talk with Jackie from AnimaSol about how red light therapy works, how to choose a safe device, and what pet parents should know before using it with their dogs.

We explore the science behind red light therapy, the debate around sun exposure, and the key terms to understand when comparing devices. Jackie also explains why AnimaSol created a full-body red light therapy blanket for dogs and how their products differ from others on the market.

Plus, we discuss whether red light therapy may help with common concerns like mobility issues, skin lumps, and inflammation, along with real stories from pets who have benefited from these devices.

If you’re curious about adding red light therapy to your dog’s wellness routine, this episode breaks down the research, myths, and practical tips every dog parent should know.
