Pet surgery at the clinic follows a structured process designed to reduce risk and support a smooth recovery.



  1. Pre-surgical consultation: A veterinarian evaluates your pet's overall health, reviews medical history, and determines whether surgery is appropriate.


   2. Pre-anesthetic screening: Bloodwork and a physical exam identify underlying conditions that may affect anesthesia, allowing the team to customize the anesthetic protocol.


   3. Anesthesia and monitoring: RVTs monitor your pet throughout the procedure using modern equipment to track vital signs.


   4. Surgical procedure: The procedure is performed in a sterile environment supported by an IDEXX in-house laboratory suite, digital radiology, and advanced diagnostics.


   5. Post-operative care and discharge: The team provides detailed at-home recovery instructions covering wound care, activity restrictions, and medication management. Follow-up visits may be scheduled to monitor healing.
