Sleep is emerging as one of the most important—and often overlooked—factors influencing pain, recovery, and quality of life in companion animals. As awareness of veterinary sleep medicine continues to grow, understanding the relationship between sleep and musculoskeletal health is becoming increasingly relevant for veterinary professionals.
In this webinar, Lauren Davis explores the science behind sleep hygiene and its impact on pain perception, osteoarthritis, behaviour, and recovery. Drawing on current research and clinical experience, she discusses how poor sleep can contribute to chronic pain cycles, why optimising sleep should form part of a multimodal treatment approach, and how veterinary teams can have practical conversations with owners about improving their pet’s sleep environment.
Designed for vets, veterinary nurses, physiotherapists, rehabilitation professionals, and anyone involved in musculoskeletal care, this session provides practical, evidence-based insights that can be applied immediately to support better patient outcomes.
