- No food after 8:30 pm reduces the risk of vomiting or aspiration during and after anesthesia as well as other complications.
- Drop off your pet at 8:30 am the day of surgery.
- Prepare to spend 15 -20 minutes with the procedure team the day of surgery.
- If your pet is pregnant or in heat at the time of Spay, they are required to have IV Catheter & Fluid Therapy.
- Pre-Anesthetic blood work is required for patients seven years of age or older pre-surgery.
- All patients should be brought into the clinic on a leash or in a carrier for their safety.
- Dental and Surgery patients are discharged after 4 pm on the day of surgery. Check with your attendant to confirm the time.
