Abstract
Pain is a common condition of dogs and cats that is managed by veterinary surgeons with variable degrees of success. The complex pathophysiology of different types of pain is a significant reason why they can be challenging to manage. It is important to consider the goals and outcomes of any intervention(s) for both acute and chronic pain, but the cornerstone of the management of both is regular objective assessment with a validated scoring system. The feasibility of any interventions should also be considered with both the owner and animal in mind. Consideration of relevant legislation must be made when prescribing pharmacological therapies. Effectively managing acute pain may reduce the incidence of chronic pain in dogs and cats.
