Animal health company Zoetis has joined with the World Small Animal Veterinary Association to support its Global Pain Council, a specialist group of global veterinarians with expertise in companion animal pain management.

Effective pain management is fundamental in veterinary practice. The Global Pain Council works to address global variations in the assessment and management of animal pain by providing education and advisory resources. The Global Pain Council also strives to increase the confidence and competence of veterinary professionals worldwide in companion animal pain management through initiatives such as the recently launched ‘teach the teacher’ training program and its Global Pain Guidelines, WSAVA’s most frequently accessed veterinary resource.
