“Routine” or not, surgery often sounds scary! Rest assured, safety is our top priority from check-in to check out.
Modern anesthesia is generally very safe, and to further lower any risk, we perform a physical examination and run blood work ahead of time to catch any underlying health issues. In addition, we design a unique anesthetic protocol specific for your pet, to ensure even greater safety.
During your pet’s procedure, our highly trained staff monitor vital signs using state-of-the-art equipment. Our rigorous pain management protocols ensure your pet has a speedy and comfortable recovery.
