Surgical Care
Our surgical suite handles routine spay/neuter procedures and complex emergency operations. Pre-anesthetic blood tests ensure safety, while continuous monitoring tracks vital signs. Postoperative care includes pain management and follow-up instructions for optimal recovery.

Comprehensive dental care prevents systemic diseases caused by oral infections. We perform cleanings under anesthesia, dental X-rays, and extractions for diseased teeth. Education focuses on brushing techniques and diet modifications to maintain oral health.
