The pad is nowhere near the size it was portrayed to be. I have an Irish Wolfhound and it only covers a very small proportion of his back.

"My 12-year-old Lab was struggling to get up in the mornings. Two weeks of daily sessions and he's meeting me at the door again. I actually cried the first time he did it."
"We were paying $120 a session for vet laser therapy and could only afford it every few weeks. This lets us do it every day at home. Max is more comfortable than he's been in two years."
"Rosie has hip dysplasia and I was terrified of putting her on long-term pain medication. The Redhaven pad has become part of our evening routine. She actually walks over to it now."

Is the Redhaven Pad Right for Your Dog?
Commonly used to support dogs experiencing:
- Joint stiffness and reduced mobility
- Age-related slowing down
- Discomfort associated with arthritis or degenerative joint conditions
- Hip and mobility concerns
- Recovery support after surgery or injury
- Back or spinal discomfort
- General muscle and soft tissue care
Suggested Session Guide
| Where your dog needs support | Sessions / day | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday stiffness or slowing down | 1 | 20 min |
| More noticeable joint or mobility discomfort | 1 | 30 min |
| Deeper or longer-standing mobility challenges | 1–2 | 30–45 min |
Every dog is different — start with one 20-minute session daily and adjust based on how your dog responds. If your dog has a diagnosed condition or has had recent surgery, check with your vet before starting a new routine and follow their guidance on frequency. Recommended mode: P3 (red + near-infrared combined).
- Ensure your dog is relaxed and lying down.
- Place the pad against your dog's skin — part the fur or apply to a low-fur area over the joint.
- Secure the Velcro strap snugly (not tight) so the pad maintains skin contact.
- Press the function button to select P3 mode (red + near-infrared combined). Press the time button to select your session — 10, 20, 30, or 45 minutes. The pad shuts off automatically when done.
- Remove the pad, reward your dog, and repeat daily for best results.
Setup takes under 60 seconds. Most dogs settle immediately once the pad is in place.

How It Works
How It Works
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation/PBM) uses specific wavelengths of light to support cellular energy production in muscle and joint tissue. The Redhaven pad delivers 660nm and 850nm wavelengths — the ranges most studied in canine PBM research.
The skin-contact wrap design bypasses the fur barrier that causes generic red light panels to fail on dogs, designed to deliver light more directly to the target tissue rather than scattering off the coat.
Recommended setting: P3 (red + near-infrared combined). This delivers both wavelengths simultaneously — 660nm for surface tissue and 850nm for deeper joint support — and is the mode most owners use for daily sessions.
Product FAQs
Product FAQs
Which mode should I use?
For most dogs, start with P3 — red + near-infrared combined. This delivers both 660nm and 850nm simultaneously and is the setting recommended for joint support, arthritis, and general mobility. P1 (red only) suits surface-level skin support; P2 (NIR only) goes deeper into tissue; P4 adds a 10Hz pulse for variety. When in doubt, use P3.
Will it work through my dog's fur?
The pad is designed to be worn directly against the skin with the fur parted. This skin-contact design is what separates it from generic panels. For thick-coated breeds, part the fur before each session for maximum light delivery.
Is it safe to use at home without a vet present?
Yes, completely. The pad uses safe LED technology — the same principle as vet laser therapy, at a power level designed for daily home use. The auto-shutoff ends every session automatically, so there's no risk of overexposure. We recommend discussing any new wellness routine with your vet if your dog has an active medical condition.
Will it burn my dog?
The pad is completely safe. It generates gentle warmth — similar to lying in mild afternoon sunlight — and the built-in auto-shutoff ends every session automatically. The auto-shutoff ends every session automatically, designed to minimise the risk of overheating.
How long before I see results?
Some owners notice their dog seems more settled after sessions within the first week or two. Visible mobility changes — when they occur — are often reported after several weeks of consistent daily use. Results vary considerably between individual dogs and their circumstances.
What size dogs is it suitable for?
The pad suits dogs from small breeds (Cavoodles, Dachshunds) through to large breeds (Labradors, Golden Retrievers). For dogs over 40kg, two targeted sessions on different joint areas may be more effective than a single placement.

Stories owners share with us
The difference daily sessions can make
Before
After
Before
"He used to be my shadow. Now he barely looks up when I walk in. Getting up from his bed takes him three attempts. He hesitates at the bottom of the stairs and just looks at me. I didn't realise how much I missed seeing him run."
After consistent daily sessions
"He got up this morning on his own for the first time in months. I didn't want to say anything in case I jinxed it — but he's doing it every day now. His tail is wagging again when I come home. I got my dog back."
This is what 20 minutes a day, consistently, can do.

Sound familiar?
These are the signs most owners notice first.
Hesitates at stairs
Pauses at the bottom, looks up, then gives up.
Stiff after resting
Takes several attempts to stand up from his bed.
Slower on walks
Shorter distances, less enthusiasm, earlier turns home.
More rest, less play
Sleeps more. Doesn't greet you at the door anymore.
He doesn't have to feel this way — or stop greeting you at the door.

Comfort he can wear. Freedom he can keep.
Lightweight and flexible — wraps to your dog's body so he can doze, rest or relax while it works.
Does this sound like your dog?
- Hesitates at the bottom of stairs or before jumping up
- Struggles to stand up after resting
- Slowed down noticeably on walks or lost interest in play
- Seems stiff first thing in the morning
- Flinches when you touch his hips, back, or elbows
- Sleeps more than he used to
- Has been diagnosed with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or IVDD
If even one of these sounds familiar — your dog doesn't have to live with it. Every day of stiffness is a day he doesn't have to lose.

Red light therapy that fits real life.
The Science Behind It
What Is Photobiomodulation — And Why Does It Matter for Your Dog?
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the use of specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support the body's natural cellular processes. It's been studied in veterinary medicine for joint pain, inflammation, and tissue recovery — and it's the same principle behind the laser therapy your vet may already recommend.
Light as a wellness tool — not as heat
Unlike heat packs or infrared saunas, PBM uses specific wavelengths of light that interact with photoreceptors inside your dog's cells — primarily in the mitochondria, the part of the cell responsible for producing energy.
When cells absorb this light, they can produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate) — the energy currency your dog's body uses for tissue repair, circulation, and reducing localised inflammation. The result is cellular support from the inside out, without drugs, heat, or invasive procedures.
This isn't alternative medicine. PBM has been studied in peer-reviewed veterinary journals and is now used in clinical settings by physiotherapists and rehabilitation vets worldwide.
How It Works — Step by Step
Four steps from the pad on your dog's skin to cellular support at the joint.
01
Light reaches the tissue
The pad sits directly against the skin. 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared light penetrate through the skin into muscle, fascia, and joint tissue — no scatter, no air gap.
02
Cells absorb the light
Photoreceptors in the mitochondria (specifically cytochrome c oxidase) absorb the light energy — similar to how plants absorb sunlight for photosynthesis, but for animal cells.
03
ATP production increases
Stimulated mitochondria produce more ATP — the molecule that powers cellular repair, reduces oxidative stress, and supports the natural processes involved in tissue recovery.
04
Cumulative daily benefit
PBM effects are cumulative. A single session provides a stimulus — repeated daily sessions sustain the response. This is why consistency matters more than duration.
What the research says about dogs
Photobiomodulation for canine joint support has been studied in peer-reviewed veterinary literature. Published research on dogs with osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal conditions has examined the effect of red and near-infrared wavelengths on pain scores, mobility, and owner-reported quality of life.
The Redhaven Pad uses the 660nm and 850nm wavelength ranges consistent with the doses used in published canine PBM studies. We make no claim about this specific device's clinical efficacy — but the wavelengths it delivers are the same ones researchers have chosen to study.

660nm
Red light — surface tissue, skin, and superficial muscle. The visible red wavelength most studied in canine PBM research for surface tissue and localised inflammatory response support.
850nm
Near-infrared — penetrates deeper into muscle and joint tissue. Invisible to the naked eye. Most studied wavelength for deeper tissue support in canine PBM research.

Median photon transmission through unshaved canine coats at clinical depth — why a panel held above the fur doesn't work (Hochman-Elam et al. 2020).
The two wavelengths — and why both matter
660nm
Visible Red Light
Surface tissue and skin support
660nm sits at the red end of the visible spectrum — you can see it glowing when the pad is active. It penetrates into the surface layers of tissue — skin, superficial muscle, and the fascia surrounding joints.
In canine PBM research, this wavelength range has been studied for its potential role in supporting localised inflammatory responses and surface tissue recovery.
850nm
Near-Infrared Light
Deeper tissue and joint support
850nm is invisible to the naked eye but penetrates significantly deeper than visible red light — reaching muscle, joint capsule, and periarticular tissue. This is the wavelength studied for deeper tissue and joint support in canine PBM research.
For dogs with hip dysplasia, arthritis, or IVDD, this deeper penetration is what makes near-infrared relevant — surface light alone doesn't reach the joint structures where support is needed.
