Our Commitment to Patient Safety
Your pet’s safety is always our number one priority. Although anesthetic complications are rare, we take every precaution to ensure your pet’s surgical experience is smooth, pain-free, and safe. Some of our safety features include:
Preparing Your Pet for Surgery
A successful procedure starts with proper preparation. Before surgery, we will provide detailed instructions for your pet:
- Fasting: Most pets need to stop eating 8-12 hours before surgery to reduce anesthesia risks
- Medications: Let us know if your pet is taking any medications so we can advise on whether to continue or pause them
- Comfort & Calmness: Bring your pet in a secure carrier or on a leash to minimize stress on the day of surgery
Post-Operative Care for Pets
Caring for a pet after surgery can feel stressful, but we’re here to support you every step of the way. Once your pet has recovered from anesthesia, we’ll arrange their discharge appointment and walk you through detailed at-home care instructions. We’ll explain how to administer medications, what signs to watch for during recovery, and how to keep your pet comfortable and safe. If your pet needs a follow-up appointment or suture removal, we’ll schedule it before you leave. Our team is always available for questions if any concerns arise once your pet is home.

Is Surgery Safe for Older Pets?
Yes, many senior pets undergo surgery safely. We take extra precautions for older pets, including pre-anesthetic bloodwork and customized anesthetic plans, to minimize risk and ensure the safest possible procedure.
Can I Be With My Pet Before or After Surgery?
While owners aren’t present during the procedure itself, we make sure your pet is surrounded by compassionate care before and after surgery. Our team will update you throughout the day and review post-operative care in detail at pick-up.
