Surgical Services

We understand surgery can be stressful for both you and your pet. Our team provides a safe, calm and relaxing environment where your pet receives the highest quality surgical care. From routine procedures to more complex operations, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment and with our compassionate, skilled team we strive to provide the best possible outcome.

Comprehensive Surgical Care

Whether your pet is here for a routine/spay/neuter or a soft tissue procedure, we follow a strict safety protocol for every patient:

  • Pre-Surgical Physical Exam: A veterinary performs a thorough “head-to-tail” check to ensure your pet is healthy and ready for anesthesia.

  • All animals undergoing general anesthesia have an IV catheter placed and fluids administered during and after their procedure. 

  • Advanced Monitoring: Our veterinary technicians use sophisticated equipment to monitor vital signs – including heart rate/rhythm, oxygen levels, blood pressure, CO2 level, temperature – throughout the entire procedure.

  • Our anesthesia system includes ventilation equipment. 

  • Pain Management: We prioritize your pet’s comfort by creating a customized pain management plan for before, during and after surgery.

  • Personalized Recovery: We believe in “lots of TLC”. Your pet will be closely monitored as they wake up, ensuring they are warm, comfortable and feeling loved until they are ready to go home.
