Understanding Pet Pain Control and Management
Managing pain in pets requires a personalized approach. Pain can be acute, resulting from an injury or surgical procedure, or chronic, as seen with conditions like arthritis or nerve damage. Both types of pain can lead to noticeable changes in your pet’s behavior, such as decreased activity, reluctance to jump or climb, and changes in appetite. Recognizing these signs early is crucial to prevent your pet from enduring ongoing discomfort.
At Galt Animal Hospital, our team is dedicated to offering compassionate and effective pain management plans for each patient. We assess the source and severity of your pet’s pain and customize treatment to help alleviate it. Our goal is to ensure every pet experiences the relief they deserve, allowing them to enjoy a more active and fulfilling life.

Our pet pain control and management services, are aimed at relieving discomfort, improving mobility, and restoring your pet’s ability to enjoy daily activities.

Medications for Pain Relief
Medications are often a key part of pet pain control, providing quick relief for acute pain condition or ongoing management for chronic issues. Our veterinary team carefully selects and adjusts pain medications based on your pet’s health, size, and specific pain level. Whether it’s anti-inflammatory medications, pain relievers, or joint supplements, our approach prioritizes safety and effectiveness to minimize side effects while enhancing comfort.
Therapeutic Laser Therapy
For pets dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, or healing from injuries, therapeutic laser therapy is a non-invasive, soothing treatment option. Using specific wavelengths of light, laser therapy penetrates tissues to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. This treatment is especially beneficial for conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and wound healing. Pets typically find laser therapy relaxing, and many see a notable improvement in mobility and comfort after a few sessions.
Rehabilitation Referrals for Advanced Care
In some cases, a rehabilitation referral may be beneficial, especially for pets needing specialized physical therapy to regain mobility or strength. We partner with trusted veterinary rehabilitation specialists who provide advanced pain management techniques, including customized exercise routines and hydrotherapy. By working closely with these specialists, we ensure your pet receives comprehensive care that supports long-term pain relief and recovery.
