Our Surgical Standards of Care

Your pet’s health and comfort are our top priorities. We follow the highest surgical standards set by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) to ensure your pet receives exceptional care.

We understand how nerve-wracking it can be to have a beloved pet undergo surgery. That’s why we’re here to answer all your questions — and to explain how we keep your pet safe and comfortable every step of the way.

What Sets Us Apart

Pre-Operative Care & Evaluation

Before every surgery, we perform:

  • A thorough physical exam
  • Pre-surgical blood testing to check for hidden issues (organ function, blood disorders, anemia)
  • An individualized review of:
    • Anesthetic history
    • Breed and age
    • Any pre-existing conditions

Customized Anesthesia Protocol

Each pet receives a personalized anesthesia plan using:

  • The highest-grade anesthesia available
  • IV fluids for stability and hydration
  • Real-time monitoring by trained technicians using:
    • EKG
    • Blood pressure
    • Oxygen saturation
    • Temperature
    • Respiratory and heart rate

Focused Pain Management

Pain control is not just about comfort — it also promotes healing, reduces stress, and prevents complications. Our approach includes:

  • Pre- and post-operative pain medication
  • One-on-one nursing care during recovery
  • Use of acupuncture as a holistic pain relief option
  • A recovery space that is quiet, calm, and closely monitored

Your pet will wake up safely and gently, with a nurse by their side.

Laser Surgery

Laser technology is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. By using a precise, controlled laser beam instead of a scalpel, we can improve outcomes and reduce discomfort.

Benefits of Laser Surgery

We look for infections, lesions, parasites (fleas, ticks, mites), and coat quality as signs of overall health.

  • Less Bleeding: The laser seals small blood vessels as it cuts, creating a cleaner, drier surgical site.
  • Less Pain: By sealing nerve endings, the laser reduces inflammation, swelling, and discomfort.
  • Lower Risk of Infection: The laser kills bacteria in its path, sterilizing the area during surgery.
  • Faster Recovery: With reduced bleeding, pain, and infection risk, healing is quicker and smoother.

Uses for Laser Surgery

Common uses for laser surgery include:

  • Tumor and cyst removal
  • Wart removal
  • Many soft tissue procedures
