Effective Pet Cryotherapy Services in Melbourne, FL
Noticing issues with your pet’s skin? Eau Gallie Veterinary Hospital proudly offers pet cryotherapy in Melbourne, FL—a safe, non-invasive procedure designed to treat a range of skin conditions in pets with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What Is Pet Cryotherapy?
Pet cryotherapy (also known as veterinary cryosurgery) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal or unwanted tissue on the skin. Our veterinarians at Eau Gallie use a precise cryoprobe to deliver extreme cold, typically around -127°F, directly to the target area. This process safely destroys damaged cells while numbing surrounding nerve endings to minimize discomfort.
The frozen tissue naturally sloughs off in the days following treatment, and recovery is typically quick and straightforward. In many cases, cryotherapy can be performed without general anesthesia, though light sedation may be recommended depending on your pet’s comfort level and the area being treated.
What Conditions Can Cryotherapy Treat?
Cryotherapy is highly effective for treating small, superficial skin lesions that don’t require surgical excision. Common conditions we treat include:
- Skin tags
- Warts
- Cysts
- Benign skin tumors or growths
- Certain types of lesions and localized infections
By precisely targeting only the affected tissue, cryotherapy avoids the need for traditional surgery in many cases and helps reduce scarring, bleeding, and healing time.
Why Choose Cryotherapy for Your Pet?
As a pet owner, choosing the right treatment can feel overwhelming. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way. Cryotherapy offers several benefits for the right candidates:

- Reduced recovery time, as most pets return to normal activity quickly
