Advanced Laser Surgeries
The thought of a beloved companion going under the knife is cause for concern for any pet parent. If surgery is necessary, rest assured that the Caring Paws Animal Hospital team will be there to walk you through every step of the process. We offer our pet families the benefits of laser surgery, which provides a higher degree of precision thereby resulting in less pain and a quicker recovery time.
Providing pet parents with peace of mind is paramount in our surgical process. From extensive pre-surgical examination and close monitoring during the procedure, to effective pain management and clearly articulated after-care instructions, we provide a level of care on par with that of human hospitals.
Strict Safety Protocols
The process begins with a thorough preanesthesia workup, including a physical examination, bloodwork, and an EKG cardiac review. During surgery, your pet will receive IV fluids and a dedicated technician will be utilizing state-of-the-art equipment to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, O2, and CO2 saturation levels, and respiration during the entire procedure. Additionally, a BAIR Hugger™ keeps the patient's core temperature at an appropriate level during surgery.

Our strict safety protocols begin with a pre-anesthesia physical examination, EKG, and blood work.
