Safety-First Approach to Veterinary Surgery

Your pet’s safety is our top priority. Every surgical case at Appleseed Valley Veterinary Hospital begins with a thorough pre-anesthetic exam and bloodwork screening to assess organ function and detect any potential risk factors.

During surgery, we use:

  • Sterile surgical protocols
  • State-of-the-art monitoring equipment
  • Individualized anesthesia and pain management plans
  • Dedicated surgical nursing support

Post-operative care includes warm recovery bedding, continuous monitoring, and detailed home-care instructions so you feel confident in managing your pet’s recovery. We’re just a phone call away for follow-up support — because we care long after the last stitch.

On the Day of Your Pet’s Surgery

Your pet will be admitted in the morning, and our team will monitor vital signs throughout the procedure.
