If your pet needs surgery, dentistry, or sedation, we do require a $100 deposit at the time of scheduling.

We will need to make an appointment for a presurgical visit with a technician or doctor. At the presurgical visit, we can ensure all questions are answered, estimates reviewed, paperwork filled out, and in most instances, acquire an EKG. If lab work is needed, this allows us to collect this as well. If there are any abnormalities associated with any tests, the doctor can then review these with you to determine if the procedure is safe to move forward with. You can fill out an Anesthesia Consent Form online or we can assist with this at the presurgical visit. For elective procedures, your pet must be current on immunizations including rabies and distemper.  In addition, dogs should have had a heartworm test within the past year or have proof of continuous preventive use for the previous 6 months. Because anesthesia carries with it a certain degree of risk depending on your pet’s current health status and the procedure being done, we do require that patients over 6 years of age have bloodwork done within 6 months before anesthesia. Please see our surgery page for more information on surgeries, how to prepare, and how to minimize your pet’s anxiety.
