About the Photizo Red Light Blanket
The Photizo Red Light Blanket delivers red and near-infrared light therapy across a wide treatment area. Unlike a handheld device, it wraps around the body and works hands-free. Place it over the treatment area, secure the strap, and let it run for 5 to 30 minutes. No holding. No guesswork.
It is ideal for animals needing treatment across larger areas of the body, the back, hips, hindquarters and large muscle groups, where a handheld device is less practical.
Most Common Uses:
Chronic Back & Lumbar Pain
The blanket's wide coverage treats the full back and loins in a single session. Light penetrates deep into muscle and tissue, reducing inflammation and supporting the body's natural repair process. It supports Back & Loin Pain by delivering consistent light across the lumbar region; Muscle Tension & Spasm by improving circulation and relaxing overworked muscle fibres; and Disc & Nerve-Related Discomfort by reducing the inflammation contributing to radiating pain.
Hip & Stifle Recovery
The blanket wraps directly over the joint for full-coverage treatment. It supports Osteoarthritis & Joint Pain by reducing swelling and improving mobility; Post-Injury Recovery by accelerating tissue repair after sprains and strains; and Bursitis & Tendinopathy by calming inflamed tissue around the joint.
Shoulder & Forequarters
The blanket contours over the shoulder, withers and forequarters. It supports Soft Tissue & Tendon Injuries by promoting healing deep in strained or torn fibres; Stiff, Restricted Shoulders by improving circulation and easing stiffness; and Post-Surgery Healing by supporting tissue recovery after shoulder procedures.
Post-Surgery & Scar Recovery
Consistent light therapy across larger surgical sites. It supports Surgical Wound Healing by accelerating cell regeneration; Scar Tissue Management by improving the appearance and texture of post-surgical scars; and Inflammation Reduction by calming the body's inflammatory response after procedures.

Safety Notes
The Photizo Red Light Blanket is an ancillary treatment used alongside veterinary care, never a replacement for it. Use under the guidance of your vet and do not discontinue prescribed medication.
- Do not use over any cancer or suspected cancerous mass.
- Not recommended over the developing fetus in pregnant animals.
- Has pulse modes (10 Hz & 40 Hz); animals with seizure disorders should not be exposed to the pulsing beam.
- Do not over-treat, as excessive daily use can over-stimulate and delay healing.
- No eye protection is needed, but the light is bright, so avoid looking directly into it.
- Not waterproof: use only on a clean, dry coat, never around water.
- Safe on growth plates, metal implants, animals on anti-clotting medication, and diabetics.
