The laser ... is the kindest cut of all for cats being declawed... It is, in short, the greatest thing for sliced flesh... It reduces bleeding, decreases the chance that cancerous cells might spread, minimizes the risk of infection, eliminates the need for sutures, cuts down on postoperative pain, and lessens recovery time... Laser declawing... is light years ahead of the scalpel method.

Another area where the laser has proved particularly effective is in cancer-related surgeries and the removal of other harmful masses. Veterinarians are able to dissect out malignant masses more precisely, reducing the risk of the cancer return.
