Questions

Is anesthesia safe for an older pet?

Age itself is not the risk. We check bloodwork first, choose the drugs for your pet, and a licensed technician watches breathing, heart, and temperature the whole time.

Will my pet be sore afterward?

If teeth come out, we use local nerve blocks and send pain relief home. Most pets eat soft food the same evening.
