Subtle Signs of Pain in Pets

As a veterinary team, one of the most important conversations we have with pet parents is about pain. Unlike us, our pets can’t simply tell us when something hurts. They often mask their discomfort, making it difficult to recognize the early signs of pain. Whether your pet is growing older or experiencing an acute injury, understanding the subtle indicators of pain is one of the best things you can do as a pet owner to facilitate your pet’s overall wellbeing.
