Veterinary Pain Management Assessment Form

Managing chronic pain in animals requires careful assessment, consistent monitoring, and a tailored therapeutic approach. This Veterinary Pain Management Assessment Form helps veterinary clinics systematically evaluate pain levels, track mobility changes over time, and develop comprehensive multimodal treatment plans that improve quality of life for pets with chronic conditions.

Whether you're managing osteoarthritis in senior dogs, post-surgical recovery, or chronic pain from conditions like hip dysplasia or cancer, this template provides a structured framework for documenting pain indicators, functional limitations, and treatment responses. The form captures essential details including pain scoring using validated scales, mobility assessments, behavioral changes, and current medication effectiveness—all critical for evidence-based pain management decisions.

Built specifically for veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, and mobile vet services, this form streamlines the pain assessment process while ensuring nothing is missed. It guides pet owners through detailed observations about their pet's daily activities, comfort levels, and quality of life indicators, providing veterinarians with the comprehensive information needed to adjust treatment protocols effectively.

Paperform makes it simple for veterinary practices to create professional, on-brand assessment forms that work seamlessly across devices. Pet owners can complete assessments from home before appointments or in the waiting room, with responses flowing directly into your practice management system. Use conditional logic to show relevant questions based on species, condition type, or previous treatments, ensuring each assessment is tailored to the individual patient.
