Service Overview

Our In-Home Pet Pain Management service is designed to provide personalized and comprehensive pain management for your pet. We use a multimodal approach, which means we combine different types of pain relief methods to achieve the best results. Some of the methods we use include:

Medications: We prescribe safe and effective pain medications for your pet, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, gabapentin, amantadine, and others. We also monitor your pet’s response and adjust the dosage as needed.
Supplements: We recommend natural supplements that can support your pet’s joint health and reduce inflammation, such as glucosamine, chondroitin, omega-3 fatty acids, turmeric, and others.
Physical therapy: We perform physical therapy exercises and massage techniques that can improve your pet’s mobility, flexibility, and blood circulation. We also teach you how to do these exercises at home with your pet.
Acupuncture: We use acupuncture needles or laser therapy to stimulate specific points on your pet’s body that can modulate pain signals and release endorphins. Acupuncture can also enhance your pet’s immune system and overall well-being.
Other modalities: Depending on your pet’s condition and needs, we may also use other modalities such as hydrotherapy, cold laser therapy, electrical stimulation, or stem cell therapy.

Common Issues Addressed

Our In-Home Pet Pain Management service can address a variety of issues that cause pain in pets. Some of the most common issues are:

Arthritis: Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease that causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the joints. It affects many pets as they age, especially large breeds and overweight pets. Arthritis can limit your pet’s mobility and affect their quality of life.
