Red light therapy for your animal
It started with Murphy.
Vitalight started with a dog. Murphy is Leon and Gráinne's, a ten-year-old who had started to slow down. His walks were getting shorter, his mornings stiffer, and a sore old joint was taking up more of his day.
Leon came across Photizo, a red light device used by vets and owners abroad, and started using it with Murphy at home, alongside their vet. Over the next few weeks they watched their old dog get more comfortable and start moving more easily. The walks got longer again.
That is where Vitalight came from. Two people who had seen what the right device did for their own animal, and wanted to bring it to Ireland.
It is not a cure, and it works alongside your vet, not instead of them. That is how we used it with Murphy, and how we hope you will too.
What owners use it for
From everyday stiffness to the harder recoveries, Photizo Vetcare is the device owners reach for to keep their animals comfortable and moving well.
For arthritis, joint pain and the stiffness of age, used to support comfort and easier movement, alongside your vet.
For wounds, hot spots and skin flare-ups, used to support the skin and normal recovery.
For tendon and ligament strain and soft-tissue niggles, as part of a recovery routine with your vet.
After an injury or a procedure your vet has carried out, used to support the body through normal recovery as they heal.
For horses with kissing spine or a sore, tight back, used to support comfort alongside your vet and physio.
For working and sport animals after a hard session, to support muscle recovery as part of their routine.
This is one of the most studied therapies there is
Red light therapy, or photobiomodulation, is not new and it is not fringe. It has been researched for decades, published independently, and used by vets, physios and human clinics around the world. The proof is there, in the papers and in the regulation.
What good therapy needs, and how Photizo measures up
Light therapy comes down to a few measurable things. Here is what matters, and how Photizo Vetcare does on each.
| What matters | Photizo Vetcare |
|---|---|
| The right wavelengths | Red 635nm + near-infrared 850nm |
| Real, measured strength | ~330 mW/cm2 irradiance |
| A proven, repeatable dose | Fixed 6J with every press |
| Regulatory clearance | CE marked, assessed against EU safety and quality standards |
| A company behind it | Vitalight, official Irish distributor you can call |
Photizo Vetcare
Vitalight is the official Photizo distributor for Ireland and Europe, a registered Irish company you can call. Photizo Vetcare is a clinically developed device used on dogs, cats and horses, trusted by vets and owners for years.
Photizo Vetcare
A cordless, single-button device for dogs, cats and horses. Point it at the spot, press once, and it does the rest.
The device Mary Farrell uses in her own work (see below).
Small enough to go anywhere
Photizo Vetcare is cordless and pocket-sized. It pops into a handbag, a gym bag or the tack room, so you can use it on the sofa at home, out at the yard, or on the road. One button, a few seconds on each spot, nothing to set up. The point is simple: more comfortable days, and more of the good ones together.
Mary uses it in her own practice
From family vets and therapists to Dublin Zoo, professionals across Ireland reach for Photizo, and so do thousands of owners at home.
