Would you know if your pet was in pain?

Research shows that despite our love for our pets, many pet owners cannot tell when their animals are in pain.  Our pets can be experts at hiding pain and often suffer in silence. 

Hiding pain is a behaviour animals developed in the evolutionary process to protect themselves from predators during times of injury or sickness. Even though they’ve been domesticated for thousands of years, dogs and cats have preserved this trait to some extent.  

As a result, most of the animals that experience pain, don’t receive the treatment they need.
