Before you come: All surgical procedures are performed under general anesthesia. Because anesthesia may cause nausea, we request all pets fast for at least 12 hours prior to drop-off.

All blood work must be drawn and reviewed prior to scheduling your pet’s appointment.

Our office will advise you what time to drop-off your pet for surgery. A technician will always go over after-care instructions at pickup. For our patient’s safety, we place an I.V. Catheter during most sedated procedures, so your pet may go home with a small shaved spot on his or her leg. We also perform a complimentary nail trim with all anesthetized procedures (unless requested otherwise).

After being dropped-off, a doctor physically examines your pet and reviews recent blood work to ensure s/he is safe to undergo anesthesia. Throughout the entire procedure a technician monitors and records your pet’s vital signs. Most surgeries require sutures, which means your pet will likely be sent home with pain medication and a cone (or Elizabethan collar), and your pet will need to return in 10-14 days for a complimentary incision evaluation and suture removal. Your pet must wear the cone until the sutures are removed.
