Research Interests

Dr. Reid's research spans veterinary pain management, HRQL measurement in companion animals, and the development of clinical tools to improve animal welfare. Key areas include:

• Pain assessment scales for cats and dogs
• Validation of health-related quality of life instruments
• Impact of chronic conditions (e.g., kidney disease, musculoskeletal disorders) on animal well-being

Publications

Recent work emphasizes optimizing HRQL tools for clinical use, analyzing breed/age effects on canine HRQL, and evaluating novel therapies for degenerative conditions. Collaborations explore behavioral pain assessment and owner-reported outcomes in veterinary care.
