Your Pet’s Comfort and Safety Are Our Top Priorities

Every pet who comes through our doors is treated like one of our own. From the moment they’re admitted to our hospital through their post-op care, we prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. Your pet’s personalized surgical plan includes:

Pre-Anesthetic Bloodwork

We take pre-anesthetic bloodwork to detect underlying health concerns and determine safe anesthetic protocols.

IV Catheter & Fluid Support

During most procedures, we insert an IV catheter and provide fluid support to maintain hydration and stabilize blood pressure.

Anesthesia & Pain Control

Modern anesthesia and pain control are tailored to your pet’s size, breed, age, and medical history.

Continuous Monitoring

Dedicated monitoring by licensed veterinary technicians track your pet's heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and more.

Post-Surgery Recovery

Your pet recovers in a quiet, temperature-controlled area where they can wake up gently with a team member by their side.

Recovery Support and Follow-Up Care

Healing doesn’t end when your pet leaves our animal hospital. We provide:

  • Follow-up visits to monitor your pet’s healing, remove sutures if needed, and ensure no post-op complications
  • Access to our team if you notice anything unusual at home or need extra guidance during recovery
  • Helpful recovery tips to make your pet’s healing process as smooth and stress-free as possible

Our clients often tell us how surprised they are by how quickly their pets bounce back after surgery—especially with a little extra rest, love, and support.
