Making Surgery as Safe and Painless as Possible

Cat and dog surgeries are safer than ever, and we set our standards high. To guarantee your pet's safety, we provide:

  • A pre-anesthetic exam and blood work recommended for pets under 5 years old and required for pets over 5 years old. We need to examine your pet thoroughly before their surgery to make sure they are healthy and can process the anesthesia safely.
  • Continuous monitoring from a certified technician while your pet is under anesthesia.
  • High-end monitoring equipment that measures your pet’s CO2 outtake, their blood pressure, EKG, and more.
  • A heated IV fluid pump that provides fluids to support your pet’s blood pressure and keep them hydrated.

Our CO2 Surgical Laser

Laser surgery offers additional safety and pain relief for your pet. The CO2 laser:

  • Kills bacteria in its path
  • Allows us to make smaller incisions
  • Cauterizes blood vessels and nerve endings, which reduces bleeding and pain
  • Reduces post-op swelling
  • Ensures less damage to surrounding tissue
  • Makes your pet’s recovery easier
