The same drug-free, needle-free phototherapy technology trusted by thousands of people — now available to support your horses and dogs.
Shop AcuLife for Horses Learn MoreLifeWave's patented phototherapy patches work by reflecting specific wavelengths of your body's own light back into the tissue — no drugs, nothing absorbed, no prescriptions needed. The same gentle technology works beautifully for horses and dogs.
You know your horse. You know when something's off — when they're not moving freely, not performing at their best, or simply not themselves.
LifeWave's AcuLife® patches bring the same light-therapy science behind the popular X39 human patches to equine wellness. Placed on acupressure points, these small self-adhesive patches use reflected light to gently stimulate the body's natural energy pathways.
AcuLife is recognised as a valid modality by both the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP).

Our dogs give us everything. As they age, or after a tough day of activity, they deserve the same gentle support we give ourselves.
LifeWave patches — including the X39® stem cell activation patch and AcuLife® — can be used on dogs to support their natural wellbeing. Applied to acupressure points on the body, the patches work with your dog's own light to encourage comfort, calm, and recovery.
Many pet owners use patches to support older dogs with stiffness, dogs recovering from activity, or anxious animals seeking calm. No drugs. No side effects. Just gentle, natural support.
Supports older or active dogs experiencing stiffness or discomfort after exercise.
Many owners report a noticeable sense of calm in anxious or restless pets.
Gentle support for the body's natural recovery after physical activity or stress.
Nothing enters your pet's body — no risk of drug interactions or side effects.
LifeWave's patches contain no drugs and nothing is absorbed into the body. They work through a simple principle used by nature itself: light.
Your animal's body heat causes the patch to reflect specific wavelengths of light back into the tissue beneath it — the same principle by which sunlight triggers vitamin D production in skin. When placed on specific acupressure points, this gentle stimulation encourages the body's natural energy flow, supporting comfort and recovery from the inside out.
Safe for competition? AcuLife patches contain no prohibited substances and have been used by competitive equine athletes. Always check your specific governing body's rules. Patches are removed before any drug testing as a matter of best practice.
As someone who cares deeply about wellness — for people and animals alike — I'm passionate about sharing tools that support a natural, drug-free quality of life. Whether it's your horse after a hard ride or your senior dog looking for a little extra comfort, I believe every animal deserves the chance to feel their best.
If you have questions about which patches are right for your animal, I'd love to help. Reach out any time — I'm happy to guide you through the options.
