How do you ensure my pet’s safety during surgery?

Safety is our priority. We do our best to reduce stress at admission and closely monitor your pet during and after surgery with our dedicated veterinary nursing team. Pre-anaesthetic blood tests are carried out to evaluate the function of the major organs and help guide treatment decisions. Intravenous fluids are administered as appropriate to maintain hydration, circulation, and blood pressure.

Most routine procedures are completed as day surgeries, allowing your pet to return home the same day. If overnight care is required, we will discuss this with you in advance.
