Help us provide the best level of carefor your pet by choosing to perform blood work prior to anesthesia or sedation.
  • There will be an additional charge for animals that are in heat or pregnant and are undergoing spay/neuter surgery.
  • All patients undergoing anesthesia will have an intravenous catheter placed to allow the administration of anesthetic agents and facilitate emergency treatment if necessary (Note: an area of hair will be clipped on a front limb to accommodate catheter placement).
  • Any medications to be dispensed will be determined by the nurse and doctor at the time of surgery and you will be responsible for any charges.
