Our Safety Protocols
Pet surgery requires general anesthesia, which brings with it some minor risks of its own.
To reduce these risks, our veterinarians and surgical technicians take the following precautions:
Pre-anesthetic blood work and an exam – Prior to surgery, we perform a full evaluation of your pet’s health by checking for any underlying conditions that could affect your pet’s response to anesthesia.
IV catheter – If warranted, our trained surgical technicians will set an IV catheter to supply your pet with warmed fluids which help to stabilize their blood pressure, body temperature, and hydration.
Vitals monitoring – We monitor your pet’s vitals with our extensive monitoring equipment which tracks heart rate and rhythm, blood-oxygen levels, respiration rate, body temperature, and more.
Trained surgical technician – Each surgery patient is assigned a dedicated surgical technician to stay with them and monitor them from the very start of anesthesia until they are fully awake and ready to go home.
Pain medication – We minimize your pet’s discomfort with pain medication before, during, and after surgery. This also helps to reduce the stress caused by pain, which can hinder healing.
For more information about our surgical procedures, or to discuss your pet’s options, please contact one of our two locations for a consultation appointment!

Knowing When It's Time to Say Goodbye
Pets can’t tell us when they’re ready to go on, but there are clear signs we can watch for that suggest they may be ready. Our veterinarians are here to offer you support and guidance, as well as to help you fully understand your pet’s condition, and the pain they may be in.
Some of the most important things to be aware of include:
Level of pain.
Does your pet seem to be in constant pain (limping, having difficulty getting up and down, crying out, whining)?
Sociability.
Do they still greet you at the door when you come home? Are they ready and willing to interact with the family?
Eating and drinking.
Are they eating and drinking? Do they still enjoy their favorite treats?
Sense of awareness.
Is your pet aware and responsive? Do they respond to commands, and respond to things they like (opening of a treat bag, grabbing their leash, etc.)?
You know your pet best of all. While we can counsel you about your pet’s condition and the level of discomfort they may be in, it is ultimately up to you to decide when it’s time to say goodbye.
