Commitment to Patient Safety

Your pet’s safety is always our #1 priority. While complications under anesthesia are rare, we take every precaution to make surgery as smooth, pain-free, and safe as possible.

Pre-Anesthetic Lab Work

Preparatory tests inform the veterinarian about your pet’s organ function and whether they are healthy enough for anesthesia.

Individualized Anesthetic Protocol

Based on your pet’s health status, breed, and age, our veterinarian carefully selects the safest anesthetic medications and protocols to create a balanced anesthesia.

Continuous Monitoring

Electronic monitoring equipment and a dedicated veterinary technician track and record your pet’s vital signs, including oxygenation, heart and respiratory rate, blood pressure, heart rhythm, and temperature, and alert the surgeon to any change.

State-Of-The-Art Surgical Suite

Our dedicated surgery room, equipment, and instruments ensure the highest sterility level.

Heat Support

Anesthesia causes hypothermia, which can slow recovery, so we use warm water circulating mats and warm air blankets to preserve your pet’s body heat.

Pain Management

We use a multimodal analgesia plan to ensure your pet remains pain-free.
Supervised recovery — Your pet is closely monitored to ensure they stay warm and comfortable until they are fully awake.

Post-Operative Care for Pets

We know that caring for a post-surgical pet at home can feel intimidating and overwhelming. We will walk you through each step, so you and your pet have a stress-free recovery.

After your pet is fully recovered from anesthesia, we’ll contact you to schedule or confirm their discharge appointment. At that time, one of our surgical team members will walk you through your pet’s at-home care instructions, explain any medications, schedule any follow-up appointments, and answer your questions.

Common Pet Surgical FAQ's

Is Anesthesia Safe for My Pet?

Yes—our veterinarians tailor anesthetic protocols based on age, weight, breed, and medical history. We perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork and continuously monitor your pet to ensure their safety at all times.

How Do I Know If My Pet Needs Surgery?

Surgery may be recommended for a variety of conditions, including tumors, internal injuries, hernias, or chronic infections. We’ll always explore all other options first and walk you through any surgical recommendation in detail.

What If My Pet Needs Advanced Surgery?

If your pet requires a complex procedure beyond the scope of our general surgery services, we partner closely with our surgical team at Neighborhood Veterinary Centers Nederland, where advanced orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries are performed.
