We offer pre-surgical labwork and ECGs for all surgery patients. An anesthetic technician monitors the oxygen saturation, heart and respiratory rate, and blood pressure on every patient.

Laser Surgery We are proud to offer this surgery and the many benefits it provides both during the procedure and in recovery. Because it cauterizes while cutting there is virtually no bleeding. Swelling and pain are minimized in post-operative care so pets are more comfortable. Back to the top

Additional Services

We are available to assist you with arrangements that ensure both you and your pet receive the dignity and privacy you deserve.
