Animals feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances and in a similar way as we do. Recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is the essence of good patient care and an area of expertise at our hospital. It’s also vital to your pet’s long-term health and happiness.

If your pet limps, is slow to get up or lie down, doesn’t want to jump into the car (or elsewhere), doesn’t want to be petted anymore or just seems more irritable, then pain may be the problem. Many people attribute these signs to general aging changes, but often it’s not that simple. Our goal is to prevent/eliminate this unnecessary suffering by offering many solutions to this very serious problem for pets of all ages.
