Keeping Your Pet Safe During Surgery

Your pet’s comfort and safety are our top priority, which is why all of our surgeries include:

• Pre-surgery blood testing to ensure that your pet is healthy enough for surgery, and can safely go under general anaesthesia 
• An IV (intravenous) catheter and IV fluids during their procedure, allowing us to quickly and easily administer medication if needed, and immediately reverse their anaesthesia after surgery, so that they are under for the shortest period possible. 
• An expert surgical team including the veterinarian performing the surgery and two veterinary technicians, one of whom is dedicated to monitoring your pet’s blood pressure, heart, respiratory rate, depth of anesthesia and the amount of oxygen in their bloodstream. 
• Pre-measured emergency medication – just in case. While critical complications during surgery are extremely rare, having an IV catheter in place and emergency medication ready allows the surgical team to take life-saving action immediately if an emergency occurs 
• A full discharge appointment with one of our veterinary technicians, as well as take-home instructions, so that you know exactly how to help your pet recover from surgery 
• Pain medication to keep your pet as comfortable as possible 
• A complimentary re-check appointment to ensure that your pet has fully healed and is doing well after their surgery
