**A Significant Investment — and One I Would Make Again**
I did a tremendous amount of research before purchasing a red/NIR light therapy system for my horse. Of the companies I considered, Gospel was the one I found that clearly published the information I wanted to see: the specific wavelengths used—660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared—and the dosage delivered by the pads. For a horse, where you’re trying to reach large, dense muscle groups and deeper structures, that mattered to me.
This was a significant investment, and I didn’t make it lightly. My mare has a clubbed hoof, and now that she’s in midlife, the effects of that asymmetry have become increasingly apparent throughout her body. I wanted something I could use to support her body for the rest of her life.
The results I can actually feel under my hands have been remarkable. Both my mare and an OTTB with five years on the track relax deeply during their 15-minute treatments. Afterward, I can run my hand across the treated areas and feel beautifully softened, relaxed muscle—and then move just beyond where the pad was placed and feel the difference in the harder, ropey tissue that wasn’t treated.
I’ve now also had the unexpected opportunity to use the pads on myself. A few days after receiving the kit, I threw my back out moving four flakes of hay. I iced it immediately and then began using one of the large pads. An injury that normally takes me two to three weeks to recover from had me back to normal within about 72 hours. I was genuinely shocked, and fortunately my husband had witnessed the injury happen because otherwise I’m not sure he would have believed the turnaround either.
My mare does not currently tolerate the VetCare handheld well because of the sound it makes when it turns on and off, so I’ve been using it myself for TMJ and assorted aches and pains. I hope to desensitize her to it eventually; otherwise, I’ll likely purchase one of Gospel’s smaller pads for her TMJ.
The versatility of the large pads has been one of the best parts of the system. So far I’ve used them on her shoulders, neck, pectorals, midline, topline, glutes, hamstrings, hocks and stifles. I also purchased rechargeable batteries, which last a surprisingly long time, along with the surcingle, an additional battery-pack holder and four cotton bandages. Together, they’ve made positioning the pads around the horse much easier.
I didn’t buy the kit because it came with a case, but I’m surprisingly grateful for it. The padded case keeps a substantial amount of equipment organized and, more importantly, protects the lights from being knocked around in a barn environment.
I also appreciate that Gospel offers repair service. When you’re investing this much in equipment you hope to use for many years, knowing it can be repaired rather than simply replaced matters.
This system has now been useful for my horse, another horse and me. I’m very glad I chose Gospel, and knowing what I know now, I would make the investment again.
Im giving 3 star so they dont hide my review. If you can see my 1 star. You will see why
I realize it is off label use, but if I was going to use it on my dog to help with pain and inflammation from her IVDD then I figured I would try it as well on a soft tissue injury to my right ankle. It helps minimize my pain unlike anything else I have tried. My dog also seems perkier after a treatment. I'm still trying to get her used to it so I bribe her with a treat to sit for at least half a session. I wish it could be molded a little better to fit her back that is the only slight critique. I drape one of her lighter blankets over it to keep it in place while she lies down for a treatment. The provided velcro would not work well in this instance.
Our dog suffered a spinal embolism. Our rehab vet tech recommended your product to use at home. It has worked miracles. She began to stand on her own at a week and a half and at two weeks is walking unaided. I admit I used it on my back and was amazed at the difference. It is an amazing product!
I'm very pleased with my new one. It fixed my problem immediately. Service was fast and accurate.
We love this battery pack. Now we can use our red light therapy whereever.
Strongly recommend it . It powers the light for a long time and many 15 min sessions!!!
Excellent quality product. Fast and efficient delivery.
Our 7 year old German shepherd has mild hip dysplasia and now we found out today a partial acl tear. Buddy lays right down and basically falls asleep while it’s on.
We've been using Gospel's light pads for years! They work very well
my bulldog has had bilateral TPLO and suffers from bilateral hip dysplasia. This pad is perfect in helping alleviate some of her daily pain. I purchased the medium pad which fits across her hip and thigh perfectly
My 14 year old long haired chihuahua is in heart failure and can’t take NSAIDs for pain because they interfere with her heart meds. She has arthritis in her neck and shoulders. We have been using the Itty Bitty successfully for the last two weeks. After the first day she was walking again and after a week she’s back to her normal shenanigans. She is the boss of us. I have STT arthritis in my hand and I have been using it too. I find my hand is not as painful and tight. We will continue the use this red light pad. It has been a wonderful, drug free option that has given me my little girl back. My vet recently retired and she was an advocate for red light therapy for my previous two dogs. When I found this option online I was so happy we could get it ourselves. They are not cheap but they are less expensive than vet bills and long term medication.
I found one little scratch on the case. Does not affect its usage. Works great with my laser pad. I figured after one use the case would get dinged anyway. Would highly recommend it.
Very nice red light. Works well at a good price point!
I have a 7 year old GSD who loves to run and jump. He plays in the yard with his brother running around the house, garage and the fire pit. Lately he has been slowing down. He sees me pull out the “light” and he runs over to his warming pad and lays down so I can put it on his hip and back. He rests his head on his pillow and exhales so deeply. He loves the warmth. It keeps him going for sure.
This is my second purchase, the first time I ordered a custom kit with a variety of three lights and a couple battery packs which was great.
This order was the itty bitty and was a gift for someone. They love it and their senior pug pup does too. It provides relief and comfort.
My other kit is a few years old and really helped both my pups. One of them has since passed but it really made a difference with her and know it improved her quality of life.
I've also used these lights on myself and know that it is magical.
This was actually a second one for us. We use red lights pretty much every day. It helps with aches and pains, arthritis, injuries.
My vet told me about this product because my 12 year old rescue has arthritis. There were so many to choose from i am glad Dr. Beason told me about this product. Peanut is sharing it with the entire family.
The battery pack has worked well and seems to hold a long charge, we haw Photizo, large and medium pass. They are used daily by all furry and not. They also make great gifts and the company has been nothing but stellar whenever I’ve reached out with questions or needs. Thank you Equine and Canine Light Therapy you and your products are above all others!
My power cord that I lost was ordered and replaced by Equine Light so quickly. I got great directions on my first call, ordered my replacement and it arrived in about a week. The price with shipping was so reasonable. I couldn’t be happier.
This adapter brought my photizo back to life and working like new. I'm very happy to have it back. Thank you for your helpful advice on how to proceed.
I use this on my two senior dogs every day for 15 minutes and I definitely see a difference. My 15-year-old has bad arthritis in his back legs and my 12-year-old was born blind with some back problems. They both loved their ‘therapy time’. It’s easy to use. Affordable and works great.
