Pain is an important part of overall quality of life, but it can be difficult to know if our pets are in pain. Animals show signs of discomfort differently than humans and they can’t tell us what they’re feeling, so it’s up to us to watch for clues and signs.
The BEAP Scale can be used to better understand and track your pet’s physical symptoms and changes, and can serve as a guide for your observation. Using the links below, you can download the checklists and complete a daily or weekly checklist. In the eight indicators of pain, check the box that best reflects your pet’s current symptoms and review the corresponding recommendations. You can reach out to our support team or schedule a quality of life consultation to discuss your options and get additional support with the decision.
