Our Surgical Process: Keeping Your Pet Safe and Comfortable
Before any procedure, we start with a thorough pre-surgical exam and bloodwork to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. Our team reviews the procedure, potential risks, and your pet’s specific needs so you feel confident every step of the way.
An individualized anesthesia plan is created for each patient. We use modern monitoring equipment to track heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and more throughout surgery. Dedicated technicians focus solely on your pet’s safety, adjusting care as needed.
Pain management begins before surgery starts and continues through recovery, ensuring your pet stays as comfortable as possible. Detailed at-home instructions help you know exactly what to expect during recovery, and we’re always just a phone call away if questions come up.
