​September is Animal Pain Awareness Month!


  • Does your pet hesitate to go up and down the stairs?
  • Are they slower getting up or laying down?​​
  • Is your cat hiding more than usual?
  • Are they reluctant to put weight on one of their legs or has their gait changed?

If you answered yes to one of these questions, your pet may be in pain. ​Pets don't always show pain the way that people do. Just because they aren't crying or whining doesn't mean that they don't hurt.

Luckily, there are many options available to help make your pet more comfortable. Make an appointment with our staff to discuss what would work best for your pet!
What our clients are saying:
"paws detected a situation that 2 other local veterinarian practices and a specialist overlooked. paws consulted with us allowing us to make an informed decision instead of not offering the option because it could be costly. thank you paws!"
