New Pain Waiting Room Poster From Vetoquinol

Vetoquinol has added to its current range of support material with a waiting room poster which highlights canine pain, an area of specific interest for Vetoquinol due to their new product, Cimalgex®. Robert Simpson, Product Manager for Cimalgex® comments, “This poster aims to highlight that pain may not be obvious to pet owners and that signs which the owner may believe to be age related, for example stiffness, may actually be behavioural signs of pain. The most common sign of pain is a change in behaviour and so this is an area which we believe needs to be highlighted to the pet owner¹. This new poster uses a strong image to catch the pet owner’s attention which, when combined with its simple message, will prompt the pet owner to ask for further information from the veterinary practice regarding pain to ensure the overall wellbeing of their pet. This poster complements our client leaflet in helping the veterinary practice to assist the pet owner to spot signs of pain which may not be very obvious.” To find out more or to request a waiting room poster for your practice please contact your Vetoquinol Territory Manager or call 01280 825424. ^1.
