Pet pain management refers to professional vet services focused on preventing, accurately diagnosing, and medically relieving acute or chronic pain in dogs, cats, and other animals. We use a combination of analgesics and anesthetic medications, physical therapy modalities, integrative care therapies, and advanced procedures to fully control and eliminate sources of pain or discomfort when possible.

At your appointment, we assess pain levels and impacts through examination and feedback on your pet’s condition. Diagnostic tests may be recommended to determine pain origins. Considering risks and benefits, we devise a pain management plan that could incorporate NSAIDs, opioid medications, nutraceuticals, therapeutic laser therapy, acupuncture, rehabilitation exercises, dietary adjustments, and more. Home care instructions will be provided, along with follow-ups to monitor response. We work closely with your other vet specialists to optimize pain control.
Thorough assessment allows tailored analgesic regimens to specifically target affected areas for substantive relief. Management prevents acute pain from becoming chronic through expedited healing and minimizes ongoing discomfort from chronic conditions. Your pet's mobility, activity tolerance, appetite, behaviors, and quality of life all improve as pain decreases.
Close monitoring safeguards against side effects. Pain control restores comfort and function for the best possible well-being. Relieve your pet’s suffering - contact Vets ASAP today to create a tailored vet pain management plan.
