Anaesthesia and Analgesia in Companion Animals

Dear Colleagues,

New strategies regarding veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia are constantly being developed, and the best scientific research is being promoted. The pillar of this practice is evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM), which is mainly reflected in peer-reviewed published work. The openness of this work, its widespread dissemination and public criticism further enhance the quality of this scientific effort. This practice, which is targeted not only for the sake of science, but also for the practical benefit of animals and animal carers—regarding the ethical protection and welfare of both—is at the heart of the science, and it stands as the cornerstone of the modern world of reasoning.

We cordially invite you to join us on a journey onboard of this Special Issue of Animals, and we hope you enjoy this trip to knowledge through uncharted waters.
