What Painkillers Can You Give a Dog?

Many of our clients ask us for a dog pain relief home remedy or other similar solutions, as well as about what painkillers you can give a dog. In all cases, we only recommend that you give your dog medicine that the Caring Vet has prescribed specifically for them. Otherwise you risk not taking into account their age, condition or the other factors that an expert knows need to be considered.

As well as dog pain medication, your in-home quality of life consultation can include:

  • Diagnosis and treatment of wounded areas
  • Treatment for infections
  • Designing methods to stimulate their mind or their diet
  • Talking about general pain management

Before and after your appointment you will be able to simply pick up your phone and talk to one of our Care Coordinators about your dog's condition 24 hours a day.

Signs of pain or discomfort in dogs

Signs of pain or discomfort in dogs are usually easier to spot than in cats, who will almost always try to hide the fact that they are hurting. Dogs, on the other hand, show symptoms such as:

  • Loss of appetite
  • Unwillingness to play or do other activities they used to enjoy
  • Problems related to bathroom behaviour
  • Whimpering or whining more than usual
  • Growling more than usual
  • General changes in personality

Testimonials

You need to be absolutely sure that when you book a vet home visit that you're going to be getting care from someone that you can count on. You can see below what some of our clients have said about the support that we have given them :

  • Testimonial
    When Ricky was diagnosed with cancer, I really didn't know how long we'd have left. I could tell just by looking at him sometimes that he was in pain. I found this checklist and it really provided very helpful information. I took Ricky to a vet and thanks to the checklist I already knew what to ask the vet. Thankfully he told me that Ricky can live a little longer with pain medications before his life conditions deteriorate. When the time comes I know I will call Cloud 9 Vets to put Ricky to sleep.
