How We Put Your
Pet’s Safety First
Our pet surgery safety protocols reduce anesthesia risks and make your pet’s recovery easier.
Pre-Anesthesia Exam and Blood Work
An exam and blood work before surgery allows our team to screen your pet for underlying health problems, and develop a tailored anesthesia and pain management plan for their procedure.
IV Catheter Placement
To provide your pet with the fluids and other medications they need for a safe and comfortable surgery, we place an IV catheter for quick administration.
Monitoring
We monitor your pet’s vital signs, including their temperature, blood pressure, oxygen, heart rate, and respiratory rate with the latest monitoring equipment, and have a dedicated technician watching over your pet during and after surgery.
The Importance of Spay and Neuter Surgeries
Spay and neuter procedures are our most routine surgeries here in Tampa. In addition to preventing unwanted pregnancies and litters, spaying and neutering also:
- Prevents females from going into heat
- Reduces the population of stray dogs and cats
- Helps to reduce crowding in animal shelters and lessen the need for euthanizing healthy animals
- Lessens the risk of mammary gland tumors, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer in female dogs and cats
- Lessens the risk of prostate and testicular cancers in males
- Reduces or possibly even eradicates behaviors fueled by hormones, such as spraying, mounting, roaming, and vocalizing
- Potentially lengthens your pet’s life
