Our Comprehensive Surgical Process
We follow a meticulous, multi-step process for every pet surgery to ensure the safest possible experience:
- Full Physical Exam: We’ll check your pet from nose to tail, including a look at their eyes, ears, teeth, and skin. We’ll also listen to their heart and lungs, and palpate their abdomen and joints to check for any abnormalities.
- Vaccination Review: We will discuss your pet’s vaccination history and determine which vaccines are necessary to protect them based on their age, lifestyle, and risk of exposure to diseases.
- Parasite Prevention: We will recommend the best course of action for heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. These parasites can cause serious health problems, and prevention is the best defense.
- Nutritional and Behavioral Counseling: Our team will discuss your pet’s diet, weight, and exercise routine, as well as any behavioral concerns you may have. We can provide guidance and resources to help you manage these aspects of your pet’s life.
- Diagnostic Screening: We may recommend routine blood work and other tests to screen for internal diseases that might not have visible symptoms, such as kidney disease, liver disease, and diabetes.
