Painful realities: Data on pain management protocols

Article

Every pet deserves to be pain-free. So how do your peers handle their pain management protocols? Weve got the data that points to some (slightly?) painful realities.

As part of dvm360's 2015 Feline Care study, we asked you about your pain management protocols for cats-and dogs, too.

First up ... 

Next we asked specifically about cats. The question: What percentage of your cat clients opt for pain management for routine surgeries?

 

Then we asked about dogs. Same question here-what percentage of your dog owners opt for pain management for routine surgeries?

Ouch. Want tips to talk to your clients about pain their pets are feeling? Try this handout.
