FAQs About Our Services
“How do I know my pet really needs surgery?”
A thorough exam, imaging, and lab work confirm the diagnosis for your pet’s health. Options and alternatives are discussed before booking an animal surgery or other veterinary services.
“Is anesthesia safe for senior pets?”
Yes, age isn’t a disease. Individualized drug protocols and advanced monitoring reduce risk, even for geriatric patients seeking the best medical care.
“Can I visit during recovery?”
Absolutely. Once your cat or dog is stable, quiet visits often speed healing, lower stress, and overall pet wellness.
“What’s included in the estimate?”
Pre‑op bloodwork, anesthesia, surgery, pain medication, recovery monitoring, and a follow‑up re‑check, no hidden fees.
“How long before my pet is back to normal?”
Most soft‑tissue procedures: 10–14 days. Orthopedic surgeries: 6–12 weeks with rehab. You’ll receive a tailored timeline.
