Our Surgeries and Safety Protocols
We’re fully committed to providing companion pets and large animals with safe, high-quality surgical services.
Safety First
We understand that general anesthesia can be a source of anxiety for pet owners. That’s why we adhere to stringent anesthesia protocols:
- First and foremost, all pets are screened prior to surgery for underlying conditions that could put them at risk.
- During your pet's procedure, a licensed veterinary technician or veterinary nurse is dedicated to comforting and observing your pet the entire time — from the moment we begin administering pain medications up until recovery time.
- We administer IV fluids and monitor your pet’s heart rate, internal carbon dioxide levels, blood pressure, and respiratory rate.
- We also insert IV catheters into sedated patients so we’re prepared in the event they require fluids or medications.
