Safety Before, During, and After Surgery
Our goal is to make every procedure as safe and comfortable as possible. Before surgery, your pet receives a thorough physical exam, and pre-anesthetic bloodwork through our in-house laboratory helps us identify any hidden concerns and tailor anesthesia to your pet. When needed, digital X-rays and ultrasound through our medical imaging services help with surgical planning.
During surgery, our team provides careful anesthesia management and attentive monitoring of vital signs from induction through recovery. Individualized pain control is part of every surgical plan, because a comfortable pet heals faster and with less stress.
Laser Therapy for Faster Healing
We use our Companion Animal Laser after every surgery to naturally reduce pain and swelling and help speed the healing process. Learn more about our laser therapy services, which can also support recovery after orthopedic procedures.
Clear Communication on Surgery Day
We understand that surgery can be stressful for both pets and their families. That is why we maintain clear communication throughout the day, keeping you informed of your pet’s progress every step of the way. When your pet goes home, we provide detailed discharge instructions covering medications, activity restrictions, incision care, and follow-up appointments.
Spay and Neuter Surgery
Spaying or neutering is one of the most common procedures we perform and is an important part of responsible pet ownership. We discuss the ideal timing for your pet’s procedure during our puppy and kitten programs, taking breed, size, and health into account. Many owners also choose to have their pet microchipped while under anesthesia.
Supporting Recovery
Some pets benefit from additional support after surgery, particularly following orthopedic procedures. Rehabilitation-focused care may include chiropractic care, weight management through our weight loss programs, and nutritional support through our nutrition program.
