Surgery Questions

Why do I have to pay a deposit?

High rates of “no–shows” and last minutes cancellations were leaving us with empty spaces that could not be filled at the last minute. We felt that this was not fair to other clients who had been turned away when the schedule was full. Deposits help ensure that reservations are allocated to clients who intend to keep them.

Will my pet have to spend the night?

Your pet does not have to spend the night unless we are doing a specialty procedure.

Will my pet need a recheck or suture removal?

Recheck and suture removals will be determined on a case by case basis dependent on the type of surgery. Some surgeries incorporate absorbent sutures.

Will my pet be in pain afterwards?

We offer pain medicine to go home post-op in addition to giving pain medicine before surgery so your pet has a comfortable recovery.
