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.

Unfortunately, I recently had to put my cat, Bart, down. I want to commend first, Dr. Kelly Moderhack, for taking such good care of Bart over the years and for her being there for Bart in his last hour. Dr. Kelly provided a very peaceful and tranquil atmosphere for Bart and it was very comforting for us. I also want to commend Dr. Adamo for her excellent bedside manner in giving me the unfortunate news that it was in Bart's best interest to be euthanized. Also, Bonnie, the receptionist, was so compassionate throughout the process and provided a lot of comfort to us. I would never hesitate to bring another pet to Dundee Animal Hospital. Thank you to all of you for being there for us.

Dundee animal hospital is the best vet I've dealt with in 50 years as a pet owner. From the most helpful and knowledgeable front desk, to the kind and caring techs, I trust our pet will get the best care here. The veterinarian docs always have the best care in mind for your pets. I wouldn't trust our four year old Berner with any other practice!
