Is anesthesia safe for pets?
Yes, you can rest assured that we run extensive tests (specifically bloodwork) to ensure your pet is a good candidate for anesthesia prior to their procedure. The vast majority of our patients do well under anesthesia and our technicians monitor their vital signs all throughout the procedure, as the veterinarian does their surgical work.

Depending on the procedure your pet will undergo, their age, their diagnosis, or any health condition they may have means that different precautions will need to be taken. Our team will give you all of the instructions you need to help prep your pet for their surgery day. In general, we will ask that you arrive on time for your pet’s scheduled surgery. This is a huge help to our team. Staying on schedule means that other furry friends will get the care they need, and will open us up for any unexpected emergency cases that may come in to the clinic. As well, most patients should not to eat any solid foods the night before their procedure.

Paying close attention to your pet and notifying us of any odd behaviors right away will help ensure they recover as quickly and as smoothly as possible.
