There is nothing worse than seeing your beloved pet suffer and feeling helpless about it. That is why Dells Animal Hospital is dedicated to helping animals in need and providing the best quality pet care. At its Wisconsin Dells location, the animal care clinic provides a variety of veterinary services including pet grooming, vaccinations, and nutritional help.

With older pets, it is extremely common for them to experience bone and joint pain. On Dells Animal Hospital’s online store, pet-owners can browse and purchase different dietary supplements their pets could take to ease that pain. The best way to determine what supplements or pharmaceuticals are right for your pet is by scheduling an appointment at a veterinary clinic. The vet knows best what your pet is suffering from and how relieve their pain.

Here are some medications that your pet can take to reduce pain and inflammation:

  • Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs help with mild pain and discomfort, but should be used with caution as they may create blood clots.
  • Opioids are for more severe pain and can be used to ease cancer or arthritis pain. These are best used for animals experiencing chronic pain.
  • Cortisone drugs have anti-inflammatory effects and are used to relieve arthritis, allergies and dermatological problems. These should also be taken with caution because of the potentially harmful side effects.

The bottom line is that all pets should be taken to the vet before being given any type of drug or supplement. If your animal is having either mild or severe pain, call Dells Animal Hospital at (608) 253-7361 to schedule an appointment.
