Pain is not always obvious. Our dogs are experts at masking discomfort—an evolutionary survival tactic. As loving owners, it’s our responsibility to be aware of both the subtle and obvious signs, and to work collaboratively with vets and behaviourists to ensure our dogs are comfortable and happy. This guide walks you through everything you need to know: from understanding the science of pain to practical tools for supporting your dog through it.
