Is your Pet in Pain? Here's what you can do.

Season 1 · Episode 15

Monday, May 25, 2026 • Duration 28:43

Is your dog or cat slowing down… or actually in pain?

The truth is, most pets don’t show pain in obvious ways—and it’s often dismissed as “just aging.” But age is NOT a disease.

In this video, I break down how to recognize subtle signs of pain in dogs and cats, where pain commonly hides (especially in senior pets), and what you can do right now to help them feel better.

We’ll cover:
• Early signs of pain most pet owners miss
• Behavior changes that actually signal discomfort
• Where pain hides in dogs vs cats
• Safe, effective pain management options
• What you can start doing at home today

This episode is based on concepts from my book Age Is Not a Disease, where I go deeper into helping pets live longer, more comfortable lives.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your pet is “just getting older” or actually struggling—this is for you.
