Helping Your Pet Live a Comfortable, Pain-Free Life
At Grand Ave. Pet Hospital, we believe that pain management is essential to your pet’s overall health and well-being. Pain can significantly impact a pet’s physical function, mood, and quality of life. That’s why we focus on comprehensive pain relief and rehabilitation strategies to ensure your pet remains comfortable and active, whether recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or experiencing age-related discomfort.
Why Pain Management Matters
Pets experience pain just like humans, but they may not always show obvious symptoms. Some signs of pain are subtle, especially in chronic conditions like arthritis. Early recognition and treatment can prevent further complications and significantly improve your pet’s well-being.

✔️ Acute Pain – Pain from surgery, injury, or trauma
✔️ Chronic Pain – Long-term conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia, and back pain
✔️ Post-Surgical Pain – Pain relief for faster, smoother recovery

🦴 Arthritis & Senior Pet Pain Management
Aging pets are more prone to joint pain and mobility issues. Our senior pet pain management programs focus on:
✔️ Osteoarthritis Treatment – Improving mobility and joint function
✔️ Pain Relieving Therapies – Medication, laser therapy, and supplements
✔️ Home Modifications – Ramps, orthopedic bedding, and anti-slip flooring for better mobility
Recognizing Pain in Pets
Since pets can’t verbally express pain, here are some common signs to watch for:
🐶 Dogs:
✔️ Limping or difficulty moving
✔️ Restlessness or excessive panting
✔️ Loss of appetite or changes in behavior
✔️ Whining, yelping, or unusual vocalization
🐱 Cats:
✔️ Hiding or avoiding interaction
✔️ Reduced jumping or activity
✔️ Overgrooming or lack of grooming
✔️ Hissing or aggression when touched
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a pain management consultation so we can help improve your pet’s comfort and quality of life.
