How can I relieve my dog’s pain?

Relieving a dog’s pain needs the cause, degree, and overall health considered. For pain from arthritis or wounds, give a suitable amount of pet-specific NSAIDs such as meloxicam, cimicoxib, tolfenamic acid, or flunixin. For clear joint or muscle pain, add warm compresses or massage.

If needed, give central analgesics, but long misuse causes addiction, so use them only under a vet’s guidance.
