Surgery ,Dental,or Drop off patients.
Medical, surgical, and dental patients are admitted to the
hospital between the hours of 7:00 and 8:30 A.M.
Arrangements can be made for earlier or later patient
admissions when necessary.

Although we do not require admissions the night before,
sometimes circumstances make this necessary. We know
that this can be a stressful time for the pets and their families,
and every effort is made to make their stay as brief and
comfortable as possible.

All pets who are going to have general anesthesia will have a
complete physical examination, and preanesthetic tests are
reccommended to insure their safety. If any abnormalities are
found, we will call and inform you, and discuss whether the
procedure should be postponed. Performing these procedures
will always increase the health and safety of your pets.

Patient discharge times will vary, but because of the rapid
recovery from anesthesia, most patients are ready to go home
by 4:00 P.M. However, patients may stay at the hospital for a
later discharge time if it is more convenient for the family. In
the event a patient should require overnight hospitalization,
arrangements will be made for a discharge time the next day.
Our patient services coordinator will go over the written
discharge instructions and answer any questions or concerns
at the time the patient is released. One of our patient services
coordinators will call the next day to see how your pet is
feeling.

There is always concern over the safety of general anesthesia,
especially in the senior pets, and we share this concern with
you. It is for this very reason that we follow a strict protocol,
including the safest anesthesia available today, vital signs
monitoring, sterile surgical techniques, and pain management.  
We will do everything possible to insure the health and well
being of your pet
