At Cascade Summit Animal Hospital, we know pets don’t always show pain the way people do. Subtle changes in behavior, mobility, or daily habits may be the only clues that something is wrong. Because pets are experts at hiding discomfort, it’s our job to help you recognize the signs and provide relief.
Signs Your Pet May Be in Pain
Slowing down on walks or avoiding stairs
Limping or stiffness, especially after rest
Decreased appetite or reluctance to play
Hiding, increased sleeping, or restlessness
Changes in grooming habits (overgrooming or lack of grooming)
Changes in behavior (irritability, clinginess, or withdrawal)

Why Pain Management Matters
