Humans are usually quite obvious when they are in pain and show it well. Wincing and whining, grumpy or irritable, maybe limping or just unable to do what they normally would. Even if they are good at hiding pain, it will usually show in someone’s face or in moments they let their guard down.

On the other hand, dogs and cats aren’t always so obvious (especially cats with their ‘I can do it all myself’ attitudes); unless it’s already pretty extreme. In many cases, they don’t show pain how we expect them to. Yet, research suggests they have similar neural pathways for the development and modulation of pain as us — meaning they feel pain the same way we do.

As any deeply connected animal owner knows — our pet’s joy is our joy. When they suffer, we feel it too. When they aren’t as buoyant and joyful, as connected and energized, we don’t experience the same upliftment together that our animals so infectiously spread. Plus, no one wants to see an innocent animal suffer.

That’s where PURICA Pet Recovery enters.

Subtle Signs

Not only are an animal’s signs of pain or distress typically more subtle (think reduced appetite, reluctance to move, or just not being as energetic and excited as usual), but there are a lot of factors that can make it tricky to recognize when something’s off for them.

When animals are stressed (and they most definitely do suffer from stress), studies show they may not recognize pain as quickly. Leading them, for example, to walk or run on a paw they should be resting more; or vigorously chewing down on food with an inflamed and swollen tooth and gum line, showing little to no signs, causing an aggravation of the problem over time. This is why some vets no longer prescribe heavy-duty painkillers unless truly necessary, so the pain isn’t masked further. We can’t just explain to our little chihuahua why it must stay on the couch and rest its leg, obviously.

The effects don’t just stop there, though. Just like in humans, stress and chronic pain in animals can weaken their immune system, cause skin conditions, gut problems, and more.

Clearly, there are many factors that could lead us to miss a pet’s subtle pain cues.

In all the cases we named, Pet Recovery as a go-to for vets, breeders and animal lovers alike. That’s because Pet Recovery helps to decrease the breakdown of the tissues, cuts inflammation and pain, AND helps to rebuild and recover, all at once. It’s a truly uniquely designed formula. We have the success stories of many thankful excited pet owners, and vets, to prove it.

“You cannot convince an animal that it will get better; either it works or does not.”

Ah, that famous line vets hear all too often, “But fluffy never showed any signs of pain.”

Unmistakable Recovery

Our pets are our family. They also need help to age well and stay pain free. The more limber, happy, and free from discomfort your furry friends and family are, the more joy abound and the greater the stress reduction for all.

Learning to attune to the more subtle changes and signs in our animals, as well as using Pet Recovery as a daily aid to well-being and ongoing prevention, is both a way to keep them well and a way to help them Recover quicker from acute and unavoidable injury or surgery. Plus, we find it to be exciting and emotionally healing for us to see our little friends playing joyously and pain free!

Recovery has had an over 20-year run for a reason. See for yourself why.
