WE BELIEVE THAT PETS DESERVE A ZERO-TOLERANCE APPROACH TO PAIN
By providing education and support to veterinary professionals and animal caregivers across the globe, the Zero Pain Philosophy mission is to make sure that no pet suffers pain unnecessarily.
Zero Pain Pets is our resource for caregivers who either want to know more about pain in pets, want to find an accredited Zero Pain Practice or wish to book a telemedicine consultation for their pet.
Zero Pain Practices
Our accreditation scheme is open to all veterinary practices worldwide. Visiting a Zero Pain Practice means that you can be sure they are committed to working to the highest standards of pain management for your pet.

Online Pain Consultations
There are many options to effectively manage pain in pets. Our pain specialist vets can offer advice to your vet and work with your vet to address your pet’s specific pain management needs.
You can request a consultation by using the form below to give us some details about your pet. You provide your vet’s details and we contact them about your pet. Once your vet replies to us, we will review the case history and make recommendations directly to your vet with the aim of improving pain management in your pet. We are only able to provide advice direct to your vet and we cannot answer queries from pet owners.
Typical pain cases we provide help for
- Arthritis
- Spinal pain
- Nerve pain
- Joint pain
- Dental pain
