Animals instinctively hide discomfort as a survival mechanism. As a trusted medical fixture for 90 years, we specialize in identifying the subtle behavioral indicators of acute or chronic pain in senior pets.
Identifying Pain in Your Pet:
If your pet is limping, they are likely experiencing pain. Other markers include:
-
Stiffness or difficulty rising from a resting position.
-
Decreased mobility or withdrawal from daily activities.
-
Excessive licking, vocalizing, or sudden irritability.
Our Treatment Philosophy: Our independent practice designs unique pain management plans—including oral and injectable solutions—to restore your pet’s quality of life.
Clinical Note: Never administer human painkillers (Tylenol, Advil, Motrin) to pets; these are highly toxic. Always consult our veterinary team for safe, species-appropriate solutions.
