 Only The Best

Surgical Monitoring

When your pet is being treated surgically at Heartwood Animal Hospital, we want you to know they are safe. Many animal hospitals do not offer this level of care—this is why pet surgery at an AAHA accredited animal hospital is a better choice. In keeping with our AAHA accreditation, we are committed to utilizing the very safest anesthesia protocols and surgical monitoring tools in every procedure. This level of care includes:

Blood Work

Pre-anesthetic blood work to ensure that your pet is healthy enough to be anesthetized.

Anesthesia

Personalized administration of anesthesia based on your pet’s individual needs.

Monitoring

Complete human-grade surgical monitoring throughout the procedure, tracking your pet’s vital signs at all times.

Veterinary Assistant

A Veterinary Assistant assigned to personally monitor your pet throughout surgery, adding a personal touch to all monitoring.

Pain Management After cat and dog surgery, pain and discomfort are often natural parts of healing, but that does not mean we can’t intervene on behalf of your pet. Heartwood Animal Hospital pain management treatment options are designed to get your pet feeling good again. We may choose to use medical intervention for pets, but one of our most popular pain management options is laser therapy.
