Safety Before, During, and After Surgery


All surgical patients are thoroughly examined and tested beforehand to ensure that they are healthy enough to undergo surgery. We utilize only the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety in our pain management, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Our well-trained veterinary technicians use the most modern equipment available to closely monitor each surgical patient and ensure their safety and comfort at all times.

What Happens After Your Pet's Surgery


Once surgery is complete, we will reach out to you to discuss how everything went and to let you know when you can come pick up your pet. When you arrive, we will go over any post-surgical care instructions, including the implementation of an appropriate pain management plan to help your pet recover comfortably.

The ultimate goal is to get your pet back on his or her feet as soon as possible.
