What precautions/measures do you take so my pet doesn’t feel pain related to surgery/injury/infection/chronic disease?

At Sunnyview Animal Care Center in Bedford your pet’s comfort is a priority for us. Using our knowledge of pain medication and pain relief strategies, we do everything we can to prevent and manage your pet’s pain under all circumstances. We will tailor a pain management plan to your pet’s medical condition and individual needs using both the AAHA Pain management guidelines, and those of the American Association of Feline Practitioners.

Please note that we may administer pain medication and management procedures without your direct consent if your pet’s quality of life is in question at anytime, regardless of why your pet is admitted to our hospital. This policy is a reflection of our commitment to best practices of pain control for our pets – your pet is ‘our’ pet too!

We also offer Class IV CO2 Laser Therapy services, which can help control pain in some pets.
