Pain Management

Providing Pain Relief For Dogs & Cats in East Dundee

Keeping pets comfortable whether they are recovering from surgeries or living with a chronic condition at home is one of our highest priorities. Pain can have a debilitating effect on our four-legged best friends, from limiting their appetite to making them lose interest in the activities they used to love. It can also make vet visits more stressful!

Our AAHA-accredited animal hospitals in Dundee, Elgin, and Algonquin are conscious of the impact pain can have on pets and do everything possible to provide pain relief for dogs & cats.

Signs of Pain in Pets

Pets don’t always cry or whimper when they are feeling pain. Other signs might include:

In some cases, dogs may become aggressive or defensive. Regardless, if your pet is showing any of these signs, please contact us immediately so we can help.

We Offer Safe Pain Relief Options

At Dundee Animal Hospital, we look for the safest and most effective pain relief for dogs and cats. We also take time to evaluate your pet and figure out which medication is best for them based on their age, size, condition, and medical history. Furthermore, we want to make sure that if your pet is already taking medication, that one medication will not interfere with the other.

Along with using injectable pain relief medication (usually for surgeries), Dundee Animal Hospital also provides various oral medications, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). These are a safer alternative and help to reduce any swelling/inflammation that is adding to your pet’s discomfort.

Why Pets Need Pain Relief

Pain after surgery can slow a pet’s recovery, and chronic pain due to arthritis or an untreated injury can reduce their quality of life. Dogs and cats process pain similar to humans, and while they might attempt to hide it, pain can be more damaging to their health than we realize. They deserve the best care from people who are invested in their health—and at Dundee Animal Hospital, providing pain relief for dogs and cats is one of our top priorities.

Dr. Larsen is a wonderful human being. He is so patient and kind, and gentle, especially when he is delivering bad news. He is knowledgeable about his craft and he has a great "bedside manner". My timid little girls are willing to work with him. They are especially nervous around men and they seem to have taken right to him. I appreciate all of the help and care he has provided us. We would highly recommend Dundee animal clinic and their staff!

Your doctor was wonderful! She was kind and patient with me...I am somewhat of a spaz when it comes to my fur babies and she made me feel comfortable with the treatment plan. She also gave me additional options should angel get worse. I have been a client of Dundee animal hospital for about a year and I won't take my pets anywhere else again. I typically take my girls to the Elgin location, when the injury occurred they didn't have any openings so the receptionist looked at the Dundee location and found an appointment within seconds and got me in within an hour of my call. I love that the locations communicate with each other and help clients with their pets injuries get seen as soon as possible. For a spazzy pet mom like me this is the best vet I have ever been to. I've had pets all of my life and I worked at a vets office for several years, so saying that says a lot about them. I highly recommend both locations, your pets will thank you!
