Increasing Our Patients’ Safety and Healing

To reduce blood loss during certain surgeries, we employ a technique called electrocautery. This means we cauterize blood vessels to slow bleeding and reduce the risk of infection.

Additionally, members of our expert team are always watching over your pet, during and after surgery, to ensure they are safe and stable. Our hospital uses equipment on par with what you would find in a human ER to monitor vitals, administer fluids and medications, and more.
