Pre-Surgical Assessment

Every pet receives a thorough physical examination to ensure they are fit for surgery. This includes assessing heart and lung health. We also perform blood tests to check for any underlying conditions that might complicate anesthesia or surgery.

Day of Surgery

We use modern and safe anesthetics to ensure that your pet is comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. Our veterinary team closely monitors your pet’s vital signs throughout the surgery, using advanced equipment to track heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.

Post-Surgical Care

After surgery, pets are given medication to help relieve pain and manage discomfort and are closely monitored as they awaken from anesthesia. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions and are available to answer any questions or concerns you might have.
