The use of animals has greatly benefited scientific progress in the field of medical research. However, it has been widely questioned because of its ethical implications. Useful techniques are included in this article to decrease pain and stress in research animals, pursue their welfare, and improve their handling. The paper also includes some definitions and ethical issues to insure animal welfare. In addition, the national legislation is quoted and discussed. Emphasis is placed on the importance of knowing the species with which the researcher is working, routinely monitoring, and educating those who handle the animals and promoting respect for them. El bienestar animal es un tema controversial que ha tomado especial interés en los últimos años, a la vez, lo coloca en la mira de la investigación biomédica. El uso de animales es de gran provecho para el avance científico en el campo de la salud; sin embargo, es muy cuestionado por sus implicaciones éticas. En este trabajo, se mencionan medidas útiles para disminuir el dolor y el estrés, procurar bienestar en los animales de investigación, y dar el mejor manejo a los individuos.
