Surgery Comparison Checklist
What exactly is involved in my pet's surgery?
When your pet needs surgery, it can be a very stressful time. Whether it is for a routine spay/ neuter, or a more urgent surgery, we understand a pet owner's fear of putting their pet under anesthesia. We believe in informing and educating pet owners as to what we do to minimize risks.
When comparing surgery prices it is very important to not only ask the price but to find out what is included. Here is a list you may use when calling around so that you may compare "apples to apples".
