Your Pet is in Good Hands

If you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s surgery, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help and put your mind at ease. Rest assured, your pet will never be left alone at any time before, during, or after their surgery. A small, dedicated team will always be by their side, ensuring their safety and comfort.

Before surgery, we’ll examine your pet and review their medical history to make sure everything’s in order. We might also recommend blood work to check for any hidden health issues.

During the procedure, your pet will be connected to an IV catheter and advanced monitoring equipment so we can keep a close watch on their condition.
To keep them warm, we use heated tables and cozy blankets to prevent their body temperature from dropping.

As your pet wakes up, we’ll monitor them closely, making sure they can walk, eat, drink, and use the bathroom on their own before heading home.

Pain Relief for Your Pet

Keeping your pet as comfortable as possible after surgery is a top priority. Pain can slow down recovery, so we focus on managing it effectively. We provide pain relief at various stages of the surgery to ensure your pet stays comfortable, and we can send them home with pain medication if needed to keep them feeling their best.
