"Red light therapy is something I use every week in rehab. The advantage of a mat is consistency — daily sessions are hard to keep up with a handheld device."

TheraPaws combines red light (660nm) and near-infrared light (850nm), the same wavelength ranges studied in veterinary photobiomodulation research for joint pain and mobility. Because it's a mat instead of a strap, your dog's own bodyweight presses their coat flat against the light array, which helps the light reach skin and tissue instead of scattering off fur.
It's sometimes compared to sunlight for the joints, since it works alongside the body's own processes instead of just masking discomfort. TheraPaws is commonly used as ongoing, daily support for dogs managing joint stiffness, hip dysplasia, or recovering from an IVDD episode, alongside your veterinarian's guidance.
Each session runs 15 minutes with automatic shut off, so it fits easily into a daily routine.
Photobiomodulation (red and near-infrared light therapy) has been studied in veterinary trials for joint pain. In a placebo-controlled study on dogs with elbow osteoarthritis, dogs receiving the therapy were far more likely to reduce their reliance on anti-inflammatory medication than dogs in the placebo group. A separate double-blind trial compared the therapy against a common veterinary pain medication in dogs with hip osteoarthritis. Veterinary sources describe the evidence as moderate and growing, not definitive, so TheraPaws is meant to work alongside your vet's care, not replace it.
Yes. TheraPaws plugs in like a heating pad, so there's no battery to charge before each use. The cord tucks under your dog's existing bed, and the mat shuts off automatically after each 15 minute session.
TheraPaws combines two wavelengths in every session. 660nm (red light) works closer to the surface, while 850nm (near-infrared) reaches deeper into muscle and joint tissue. Using both together is what the research on this therapy is actually built around, a single wavelength alone reaches a narrower range of tissue.
TheraPaws is designed to support dogs with hip dysplasia, arthritis and everyday joint stiffness, and dogs recovering from an IVDD episode or surgery, always alongside your vet's specific guidance. It's not a replacement for veterinary diagnosis or treatment, and it's not intended to cure or reverse any condition.
TheraPaws runs warm, not hot, and shuts off automatically after 15 minutes. As with any light therapy, avoid direct use over open wounds, tumors, or the eyes, and check with your vet first if your dog is pregnant or being treated for cancer. Most dogs find sessions relaxing, and many settle in or nap while it's running.
TheraPaws is sized to lay flat on top of a standard pet bed, so it works across cats through large breed dogs without needing a different size per dog.

Many dog owners add TheraPaws to their pet's daily routine to support stiff joints, alongside guidance from their vet.
May help ease everyday stiffness and support comfortable movement in dogs managing hip dysplasia.
Suggested use: one 15 minute session daily, or as advised by your vet.
Supports comfort and everyday mobility in dogs dealing with joint stiffness, especially after naps or in colder weather.
Suggested use: one 15 minute session daily.
Used by owners of long-backed breeds as calm, passive support alongside vet-directed care during IVDD recovery.
Suggested use: as advised by your vet, typically one 15 minute session daily.
Helps dogs settle and relax after a long walk or active day, supporting normal muscle recovery.
Suggested use: one 15 minute session as needed.
And why power, coverage, and wavelength actually matter, so they can keep doing the things that make a good day a good day: the walk, the stairs, the greeting at the door, even while managing arthritis or recovering from IVDD.
Not all red light devices are built for dogs. Many low-powered devices simply don't deliver enough energy to reach muscles, joints, or spinal tissue, especially through fur. That means minimal results, even with consistent use, and a dog who's still slow to get up in the morning.
TheraPaws is designed with the same class of wavelengths studied in veterinary research, and enough output to support circulation and the body's natural recovery process, safely and comfortably, right on the bed they already love.
Warm, cozy, never uncomfortable
TheraPaws uses gentle red and near-infrared light designed for daily home use. It does not overheat or burn the skin. Most dogs find sessions relaxing and comfortable, and many settle in or nap while it's running.
Unlike high-intensity clinical lasers used under professional supervision, TheraPaws is designed specifically for safe, repeated use at home.
TheraPaws uses the same red and near-infrared wavelengths studied in veterinary trials for canine joint pain. Here's what those studies actually found.
of dogs reduced their need for anti-inflammatory medication after photobiomodulation therapy, in a placebo-controlled study of canine elbow osteoarthritis.
Looney et al., 2018, Canadian Veterinary Journal
Lameness and pain scores improved significantly more in the treated group than in the placebo group (p = 0.001).
Looney et al., 2018, Canadian Veterinary Journal
A separate double-blind trial found photobiomodulation produced pain relief comparable to a standard veterinary pain medication in dogs with hip osteoarthritis.
Alves et al., 2022, American Journal of Veterinary Research
These findings describe photobiomodulation therapy as studied in independent veterinary trials. TheraPaws has not itself been the subject of a clinical trial.
However your dog lies down, TheraPaws can support what's underneath, their spine, hips, or belly.
| Body Area | What It May Help With |
|---|---|
| Spine & Back | Muscle soreness and everyday stiffness along the back |
| Hips & Hind Legs | Everyday comfort for aging dogs managing hip or joint stiffness in the rear legs |
| Underbelly & Abdomen | Eases tightness in the core and abdominal muscles |
| Skin & Coat | Supports general skin and coat comfort Not for open wounds, hot spots, or rashes, see your vet for those |
*A typical session runs 15 minutes daily. Always follow your vet's specific recommendations, especially post-surgery or with a diagnosed condition.
REAL DOGS. REAL ROUTINES.
See why dog parents are making TheraPaws part of their pet's everyday rest routine.
“Max has definitely gotten slower with age, especially after long naps. I placed the mat on the bed he already loves and he settled on it almost immediately. I love that I don’t have to strap anything to him or hold him still.”
“My Frenchie hates anything being wrapped around him, so this was exactly what I was looking for. He just lies down, relaxes, and usually ends up falling asleep. It fits into our routine without making it feel like another treatment.”
“Cooper is a senior now and mornings can be a little slower for him. TheraPaws has been incredibly easy to add to his normal rest time. I turn it on while he’s already relaxing and the automatic shut-off means I don’t have to keep watching the clock.”
“I wanted something supportive for her daily routine without having to wrestle with a wearable device. She curls up on the mat like it’s just another part of her bed. That alone has made it so much easier for us to stay consistent.”
“She spends a lot of time resting after our walks, so I simply put the mat where she already likes to lie down. There’s no convincing her to stay in one place. Fifteen minutes happens while she’s comfortable and relaxed.”
“I honestly expected to have to encourage her onto it, but she took to it right away. I love that TheraPaws works around her normal habits instead of asking her to cooperate with another complicated routine.”
