Our Approach to Pet Surgery: Safety and Comfort First

We take every precaution to make sure your pet’s surgical experience is as safe and stress-free as possible. Our commitment to excellence begins long before the procedure itself. We conduct thorough pre-surgical examinations and diagnostic tests to create a complete picture of your pet’s health. This allows us to tailor the anesthetic and surgical plan to their specific needs.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Surgical Journey:

Pre-Anesthetic Exam: We perform a full physical exam and may recommend blood work to check organ function and rule out any hidden health concerns.

Anesthesia and Monitoring: Your pet will receive a safe and effective anesthetic. Our trained veterinary technicians will continuously monitor their heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels throughout the entire procedure.

Sterile Surgical Suite: All surgeries are performed in our sterile surgical suite to minimize the risk of infection.

Pain Management: We provide comprehensive pain management before, during, and after the procedure to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible.

Post-Operative Care: After surgery, your pet will be monitored closely as they recover. We will provide detailed instructions for at-home care, including medication schedules and activity restrictions, to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.
