Please follow these instructions when preparing to bring your pet in for surgery.

1) Please do not feed your pet after 10pm the night before the scheduled procedure. Water and any continuous medications are permitted unless otherwise instructed by the surgery staff.

2) For dogs, a bath is requested 24 hours prior to the procedure date. You will not be able to bathe your pet until staples or sutures are removed. Bathing also helps us to maintain a cleaner environment while in surgery.

3) Please bring any medications your pet is taking on a continuous basis. A wide selection of bedding and toys are provided by the hospital. Personal bedding and toys are permitted, however we cannot be responsible for loss or damage.

4) 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 and carriers will be returned to you at the time of drop off.

5) If not already signed, you will be required to sign a consent form for the treatment plan. 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, additional procedures or rechecks.

6) Please have your pet at the hospital between 8 and 8:30am unless otherwise instructed by the surgery staff.

7) Visitation is not allowed on the day of surgery.

8) The surgeon or surgical technician will call you after surgery is complete.

9) A veterinary technician will call you between 9:00 and 11:00 AM the morning after your pet's surgery to give an update and, if your pet is ready to go home, potentially schedule a discharge time in the afternoon.
