Advanced Anesthesia and Monitoring

Your pet’s safety is our top priority. Prior to any procedure, we conduct a full physical exam, review medical history, and perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork to identify any underlying health issues. We use only high-quality anesthetic agents and sophisticated monitoring equipment throughout the procedure.

While under anesthesia, your pet’s heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, temperature, and CO₂ levels are continuously tracked by trained veterinary professionals. From induction to recovery, our team is focused on providing the safest possible surgical experience.

Post-Operative Care You Can Trust

Recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. Following surgery, your pet will receive:

  • Individualized pain management
  • Close post-op monitoring
  • Specialized nursing care from trained staff
  • Nutritional support and recovery diets
  • Clear home care instructions for a smooth recovery

We’re here to support you at every step of your pet’s healing process—because great veterinary care doesn’t end when the surgery is over.

Minimally Invasive Arthroscopic Surgery

For certain joint conditions, arthroscopic surgery may be recommended. This minimally invasive technique uses a small camera (arthroscope) and fine instruments to diagnose and treat joint problems with less tissue disruption. Pets undergoing arthroscopy experience:

  • Less pain
  • Reduced recovery time
  • Faster return to normal activity

This cutting-edge option reflects our ongoing commitment to offering advanced, effective treatment options for pets in Oceanside and the surrounding communities.

Spay and Neuter: Health and Community Benefits

Spay and neuter surgeries are among the most common procedures we perform—and for good reason. These safe, routine surgeries offer both medical and behavioral benefits:

  • Reduced risk of reproductive cancers
  • Less inclination to roam, fight, or spray
  • Fewer hormone-driven behaviors
  • A longer, healthier life for your pet

Spaying and neutering also help reduce pet overpopulation. Millions of healthy pets are euthanized each year due to lack of homes. Choosing to spay or neuter your pet makes a meaningful difference for your community—and for your pet’s health.
