Higher standards of surgical care.

The Day Of Surgery

Drop off time is usually between 7:30-8:30 am, before our clinic opens. Just ring the doorbell when you arrive and we will meet you and welcome your pet inside. We will confirm your paperwork, weigh your pet, and ask you some questions. Plan for about 20 minutes to go through this process.

The Veterinarian will perform a physical exam the morning of surgery and will call you to discuss the physical exam and answer any questions you still have about the day. We will also call you after the procedure is over to let you know how it went and when you can be reunited with them.

Your pet will have a tailored anesthetic protocol just for your pet and will be monitored by a registered veterinary technologist. They will receive IV fluids, hospitalization for the day, post-operative monitoring, pain medication given at the time of the procedure as well as some to go home, local blocks of the surgery site where appropriate, and lots of love from all our team.

Post-Surgery

The pick-up time post-surgery will be arranged after the Doctor calls once the surgery is over. This time can vary depending on your pet’s needs, the timing of surgery, and your availability. 

We know you will have so many questions after their surgery about their aftercare. We will be providing written discharge instructions so that you feel confident and comfortable caring for your pet after their surgery. We are available for all questions you have. 

Surgery FAQs

If we have not previously seen your pet, we do require a pre-surgical exam so we can ensure your pet is healthy and provide you with an accurate estimate. It also gives us an opportunity to get to know you and your pet and make personalized recommendations. We also need to discuss risks to make sure you are fully informed. Please do not hesitate to contact our staff with any questions about our surgery services or if you would like to book an appointment.

We do not provide non-medical cosmetic surgeries like declawing, ear cropping, or tail docking as we believe these to be unethical and unnecessary.

We provide general soft tissue surgeries like spays, neuters, lump removals, wound repair, and more.

We do not have a specialty surgeon on site. This means we refer out our orthopedic surgeries like knee surgeries and broken bone surgeries. We also refer out airway surgery, anal gland removals, root canals and specialty eye surgeries.
