Safety and Comfort at Every Step
A personalized anesthetic, surgical, and recovery plan is designed for every pet undergoing surgery.
Before Your Visit
Prior to scheduling surgery, we’ll sit down to review their health, discuss potential risks, and answer your questions. Before every procedure, we conduct blood work to confirm your pet is in optimal health for anesthesia.
During Your Visit
We get it; surgery can be stressful for your pet AND pet parents. We want you to know that a dedicated team member uses advanced monitoring technology during every surgery to track vital signs throughout the procedure and into the recovery suite.
After Your Visit
Supporting a pet’s healing doesn’t end when the procedure is complete. Pet owners receive detailed post-operative instructions, including pain management guidance, activity restrictions, and a customized follow-up care plan to promote a full recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my pet need a follow-up appointment?
Recovery time will vary depending on the type of surgery and the healing process. If you have any concerns post-op, bring your pet in for a recheck, and we’ll assess whether healing is progressing as expected.
When can my pet resume normal activities?
Recovery times range based on the surgery. Typically, you will need to limit your pet’s activity for 10-14 days after surgery. For dogs, we recommend keeping potty breaks short and on a leash, while cats should avoid jumping and playing.
What are the benefits of spaying/neutering?
There are several significant reasons to consider spaying or neutering, including:
- Reducing the risk of cancers such as mammary, prostate, or testicular cancer
- Controlling overpopulation
- Safety for breeds where pregnancy can pose serious health risks
- Prevention of uterine infections
- Reduction of behaviors such as humping and urine marking
Do you accept pet insurance?
Yes, Trupanion is our preferred insurance partner. We also encourage you to consider one of our wellness plans to help offset the costs of certain procedures.
