How We Keep Your Pet Safe During Surgery

How We Keep Your Pet Safe During Surgery


Your pet's safety during anesthesia is one of our highest priorities. Before any surgical procedure, our veterinary team performs pre-anesthetic bloodwork and a full physical evaluation to make sure your pet is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia safely.

During surgery, we monitor blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, and temperature continuously. Every pet receives individualized anesthetic dosing, and our team stays focused on their comfort and recovery from the moment they go under until they are awake and stable. We want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in skilled, attentive hands.
