Preparing for your pet's surgery

Please withhold food after 10 pm the night before surgery. Water is ok. If your pet takes daily medications please contact our office for instructions.

Please drop your pet off between 7:00 am and 7:30 am and allow 10-15 minutes to fill out paperwork. Our surgical schedule will have anywhere from 3-6 procedures per day depending on the type of procedures that are scheduled. There are a few different factors that go into which pet is going to go first. We take into consideration the pet's age, anxiety level, pre-existing conditions, and severity of the procedure. The pick-up time will be discussed with the Surgical Technician after the procedure but can be anytime between 1:30 pm and 6:00 pm.

We ask that you bring a small sandwich bag of your pet's normal kibble/wet food in case feeding is necessary during their stay.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out by phone or text message.
