Pain Management
Comfort is care—pain management matters. At Barks + Bliss, your pet’s well-being is at the heart of everything we do, and that includes staying ahead of pain before it starts. Whether it’s acute pain from surgery or injury, or chronic discomfort from conditions like arthritis or cancer, we take a proactive, compassionate approach to keeping your pet comfortable. From advanced pain prevention during routine procedures to personalized treatment plans for long-term conditions, we’re here to help your pet feel like themselves again.
Worried your pet might be in pain? Let’s talk about how we can help. Relief is possible, and we’ll be with you and them every step of the way.
Because Their Life is Precious
Through thoughtful evaluation, modern medications, and multi-modal therapies, at Barks + Bliss, we’ll partner with you to create a care plan that truly supports your pet’s quality of life. Because when your pet feels good, they move better, heal faster, and live happier.
Managing Pain
Whether acute pain (arising from surgery or trauma) or chronic pain from diseases such as osteoarthritis, cancer, or neuropathic pain – management is a priority for us. We emphasize pain identification, prevention, and a multi-modal approach to control pain. Pain control is also a priority in our routine procedures. Every pet will receive one or more pain control medications as part of any surgery. A pet that is comfortable post-surgery heals faster, making for an easier recovery.
Arthritis Control
In cases of chronic pain such as arthritis, we will work with you to find options to alleviate discomfort. Options include a multi-modality approach to arthritis pain such as weight loss, nutraceuticals (fatty acids, glucosamine, green-lipped mussel), Adequan injections, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, other analgesics, injections for osteoarthritis (Librela, Solensia), alternative/complementary treatments, or in some instances, surgery.
