THE APPOINTMENT
A comprehensive review of your dog’s clinical history, your observations and concerns collected through CAM questionnaires, analysis of submitted videos and photos, access to the Canine Arthritis Essentials course, online access to a veterinary professional, access to the CAM Member Zone for a year, and synopsis reports for you and your vet, plus further resources.
-
- Greater understanding of chronic pain and canine osteoarthritis so you will feel better equipped to pursue further investigations and implement appropriate management plans with the support of your own vet.
-
- Discussion and objective use of the clinical signs your dog presents encouraging accurate diagnosis, appropriate intervention selection, treatment ambitions and ability to long term monitor.
-
- Education and guidance surrounding the confusing and forever changing multimodal approach to chronic pain management. This will include pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical pain relieving and disease modifying interventions, as well as often overlooked essential strategies such as lifestyle, weight control, nutrition and exercise.
-
- Cutting through the noise of a huge array of publicised interventions through reviewing current, evidence based approaches to manage osteoarthritis. This will equip you to make effective decisions in line with recognised veterinary practice.
-
- Identifying activities suitable for the dog’s capabilities with the intention of reducing incident-related acute flares of the condition.
-
- Greater understanding of the pressures placed upon you, the caregiver, and discussions on contextual care plans that work for the client and their companion.

-
- A concluding document and resources pack that you can use to grow your working relationship with your veterinary team.
- Emergency advisory services. If a case is considered an emergency, we would encourage you to contact your established veterinary practice/veterinary services provider.
- A 24/7 emergency consultation service. The Pain Vet is a “Limited Service Provider” under RCVS regulations and can only be booked via the buttons on this page.
- Diagnostic or prescription services. We work with your established veterinary care provider who are responsible for further investigations and prescribing appropriate medications.
- A consultation service as a replacement for your current veterinary care provider. You will remain under the care of your established veterinary care provider and CAM will communicate discussions and conclusions with them.
- The Pain Vet service provides support regarding osteoarthritis and chronic pain management only and will suggest further consultations with your established practice regarding other concerning topics.

Face-to-face consultations are available at our Somerset location, England.
Prices may differ from online consultations. Please see the booking page for current rates.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
The Pain Vet service is NOT a replacement for the service provided by your veterinary practice. We work with your veterinary practice, offering more time, and less distraction, from which to identify the best care plan for your dog which your veterinary practice can then continue.
We focus our attention solely on arthritis and chronic pain management.
The Pain Vet by Canine Arthritis Management is an online service hosted by registered members of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS).
