Pain Management for Pets – Why It Matters

Updated: Mar 17

Because Every Pet Deserves to Be Pain-Free


Imagine having a tooth pulled, a broken bone, or major surgery—without pain relief. It’s unthinkable for humans, yet for a long time, many assumed pets didn’t feel pain the same way we do. Thankfully, veterinary medicine has evolved, and we now know that pets feel pain just like we do—but they rely on us to help them manage it.


Recognizing Pain in Pets


Pets can’t tell us when something hurts, so it’s important to recognize subtle signs of pain, including:


Shaking or trembling


Increased heart rate


Loss of appetite


Unusual neediness or reclusiveness


Whining, moaning, or aggression


Being less active, less sociable or more irritable


If your pet is showing any of these symptoms, it’s time to seek veterinary care.


How We Manage Pain at Animal Medical Center


At Animal Medical Center, pain control is not an option—it’s a standard part of care. Every surgical procedure, including routine spays and neuters, includes comprehensive pain relief to ensure your pet heals comfortably.


Pre-Surgical MedicationsSedation and pain medication are often administered before procedure begins to minimize stress and discomfort.


Intraoperative Pain Management – Pain management during surgery is important, too. Both systemic medications and local pain blocks during surgery can make for less post-operative pain and better healing.


Post-Surgical Pain Control – After surgery, pets receive ongoing pain management to ensure a smooth recovery.


Customized Pain Plans – Each pet’s treatment plan is tailored based on their age, health, and the type of procedure.


Why Pain Management Matters


Providing effective pain relief isn’t just about comfort—it’s about healing. Studies show that pets recover faster, experience fewer complications, and remain less fearful of vet visits when pain is properly managed. Pain relief isn’t just compassionate—it’s essential.


If your pet is showing pain signals, contact Animal Medical Center today. We’re committed to keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and pain-free.
