Please do not feed your pet after 11pm the night before the scheduled procedure. Water and any continuous medications are permitted unless otherwise instructed by your veterinarian.
For dogs, a bath is requested 24-48 hours prior to the procedure date. You will not be able to bathe your pet until the sutures are removed. Bathing also helps us to maintain a cleaner environment while in surgery.
Please bring any medications your pet is taking on a continuous basis. Personal bedding and toys are permitted; however, we cannot be responsible for the loss or damage.
If your pet is on a specific diet, please bring enough food for the duration of his/her hospital stay. Please clearly label all your pet's belongings. Leashes, Collars and Carriers will be returned to you at the time of drop off.
If not already signed, you will be required to sign a consent form for the treatment plan/the surgical admission form.
We will give you a written estimate at the time of admission for surgery after pre- anesthesia examination. A deposit for the low end of the estimated cost of services will be collected. The balance will be due when your pet is discharged from the hospital. Estimated costs are for this visit only and do not cover the costs of any complications or additional procedures.
