Abstract

The present article represents a critical review focused on the application of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in Veterinary Medicine. Presenting an especial highlight to pet area, this manuscript brings together interesting articles on the application of PDT in pets, especially dogs and cats. Evaluating relevant publications that denote the state-of-art of this area, this present work demonstrates the wide potential of PDT application in several veterinary diseases. In fact, this work presents advantages and disadvantages of PDT and the partially positive results that several important research groups have published. We believe that this work can be useful to researchers and clinical veterinary medicine, mainly those that worked mainly with small animals of the PET area.
