What happens when my pet is undergoing surgery?
Personalized Pre-Surgical Exam
Your pet’s veterinarian performs a complete physical examination to identify any risks and ensure your pet is comfortable before anesthesia.
Dedicated Certified Veterinary Technician
Your pet is always in watchful, caring hands. As we prepare for surgery, your pet will have a dedicated Certified Veterinary Technician by their side. Our expertly trained technical team constantly monitor and care for every sedated and anesthetized patient.
Sterile Surgical Suite
All procedures are performed in a sterile, controlled environment to reduce the risk of infection and promote smooth, successful outcomes.
Pre-Anesthetic Sedation
A carefully selected sedative is used to reduce anxiety, minimize pain, and keep your pet calm before the procedure begins.
IV Catheter
An intravenous catheter is placed to deliver a medication that helps your pet fall into a gentle sleep. Anesthesia is administered in a controlled, gentle way so your pet drifts off to sleep safely. During the procedure, your pet is monitored to ensure regular breathing.
Advanced Monitoring
During surgery, your pet is continuously monitored by a dedicated, certified veterinary technician using the latest, advanced equipment to track heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and more in real-time.
IV Fluids for Support
Intravenous fluids are given throughout the procedure to keep your pet hydrated and help maintain stable blood pressure.
