We will always inform you of the reasoning behind a surgical procedure's recommendation and any post-operative care instructions we give you. We also practice strict surgical protocols at our clinic.

The Surgery Process

We know that the idea of bringing your companion in for surgery can be daunting. Rest assured that we recommend surgery only when it is the best option for your pet's wellbeing.

Surgical protocols at our clinic include:

Pre-surgical assessments. We will confirm all aspects of the procedure with you and conduct a physical examination of the patient.

Dedicated surgical suites. We have a dedicated surgical suite that we keep completely sterile. This prevents infection and cross-contamination. 

Surgical attire. Our staff wear masks and caps at all times while in the surgical suite. Vets involved in the procedure will also wear surgical gowns and gloves to ensure your pet's safety.

Sterile packs and equipment. We always attentively clean, wrap and sterilize surgical instruments and equipment before every surgery.
