In an effort to provide better care and protection for your pets, we have a couple of policy changes going into affect today. We strongly recommend vaccinations for surgery (10 days prior is best) because it is for your pet's protection while they are in our facility. We have sick fur-babies that come in all of the time and we want to make sure your pet has the best defenses. It takes time for vaccinations to build up immunity which is why it's best to get these prior to the procedure. Although we wish they would, vaccinations do not work instantly. Rabies will be required for surgery.
Bloodwork requirements for our senior patients is to make sure they're healthy enough to undergo anesthesia. They could seem just fine on the outside but have some imbalances internally that could interfere with anesthesia. Although not required for dogs less than 7, we do recommend the same testing for the same reasons. You just never know.
If you have any questions about this change, please don't hesitate to contact us. We would be happy to discuss and answer any questions. Educating our clients is one of the best things we can do to provide the best care for our furry friends.
