Safety Guidance
Before You Use PawLight
Use PawLight only on calm pets while they are resting, lying down, or sitting comfortably.
Do not force your pet to stay still. If your pet pulls away, becomes stressed, hides, growls, cries, or shows discomfort, stop the session and try again later.
Start with short sessions. Build the routine slowly.
How Long to Use It
- Start with 3–5 minutes per area.
- If your pet handles it well, you may increase to 5–10 minutes per area.
- Do not overuse the device. Longer sessions do not mean better results.
- Use on one target area at a time.
Where to Use PawLight
PawLight may be used on common areas such as:
- Hips
- Knees
- Shoulders
- Back
- Paws
- Elbows
- Neck area, away from the eyes
Hold the device close to the target area. Do not press hard into your pet’s body.
For thick fur, gently part the fur when possible.
Avoid the Eyes
Do not shine PawLight directly into your pet’s eyes.
Do not use the device on or near the eyes, eyelids, or face unless your veterinarian has specifically told you it is appropriate.
When using near the head or neck, angle the light away from the eyes.
Do Not Use On
Do not use PawLight on:
- Open wounds
- Bleeding areas
- Burns
- Infected skin
- Unknown lumps or bumps
- Tumors or suspected tumors
- Surgical sites unless cleared by a veterinarian
- Areas with swelling, severe heat, or unexplained pain
- Pregnant animals unless cleared by a veterinarian
When in doubt, do not use it. Ask your veterinarian first.
Ask Your Veterinarian First
Speak with your veterinarian before using PawLight if your pet:
- Has cancer or a history of cancer
- Has seizures or light sensitivity
- Has a serious medical condition
- Recently had surgery
- Is pregnant or nursing
- Has an injury
- Has ongoing pain

- Has unexplained limping, swelling, or behavior changes
PawLight is a wellness support device. It is not a substitute for veterinary care.
Watch Your Pet’s Response
Your pet should remain relaxed during use.
Stop immediately if your pet shows signs of discomfort, including pulling away, panting, trembling, whining, hiding, restlessness, aggression, or unusual behavior.
Use shorter sessions next time, or discontinue use.
Heat and Comfort
PawLight should feel gentle. It should not feel hot or painful.
Check the target area during use. If the skin feels too warm, stop the session.
Do not use PawLight while your pet is unable to move away.
Do not use while your pet is sleeping so deeply that they cannot react.
Use With Other Care
PawLight may be used as part of a general wellness routine.
It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
If your pet is limping, crying, refusing food, acting unusually, showing signs of pain, or getting worse, contact your veterinarian.

- Keep PawLight away from water.
- Do not use a damaged device or charging cable.
