Pets arriving at the hospital may be admitted between 7:30 am and 8:45 am the morning of surgery, or left off the previous evening between 5:00 and 6:00 pm. No pet should have food or water after 10:00 pm the night before surgery. All pets must be up to date on annual vaccinations in order to protect them against preventable infectious diseases. To minimize the chances of mishaps, we ask that you keep your pet on a leash or in a carrier when in the reception area. The receptionist will be happy to provide a leash free of charge if you do not have one. Our kennel area is uniquely designed so that all patients can be observed from our treatment area. Nursing care is a high priority and qualified personnel are available to ensure comfort. When you leave your pets with us you can be sure they are cared for properly.

Surgery

Surgery is an integral part of our practice and is performed under similar aseptic conditions that exist in a human hospital. Modern anesthetic equipment and close patient monitoring ensure the safest and most comfortable anesthesia possible for our patients.
