Our Commitment to Pre-Surgical Safety

At Arlington Dog and Cat Hospital, the health and safety of your pet are our primary concerns. We take comprehensive steps to ensure their safety and comfort during spay and neuter surgeries.

Pre-Surgical Evaluation

Each pet undergoes a detailed physical exam to confirm they are healthy and ready for surgery, including a close look at their cardiovascular and respiratory health. We also conduct necessary pre-anesthetic blood tests to detect any hidden conditions that could affect the anesthesia or surgical process.

Surgery Day

We utilize the latest, safest anesthesia techniques to keep your pet pain-free and comfortable during their surgery. Our veterinary professionals monitor your pet’s vital signs continuously, employing cutting-edge technology to observe heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation.

Care After Surgery

Following the procedure, we administer pain relief medications to help ease any discomfort and carefully monitor your pet as they recover from anesthesia. We provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions and remain on hand to address any concerns or questions you may have about their recovery.
