Prioritising Patient Safety

Anaesthesia is an essential part of many veterinary procedures and is carefully tailored to each individual patient. Before every anaesthetic, we assess your pet’s overall health and discuss any factors that may influence their care, helping minimise risk while providing the safest possible experience.

Pre-Anaesthetic Assessment
Every patient receives a physical examination before anaesthesia, with additional blood testing recommended where appropriate to help assess overall health and organ function.

Individual Anaesthetic Plans
Anaesthetic protocols are selected based on your pet’s age, breed, medical history, and the procedure being performed to provide personalised care.

Continuous Monitoring
Your pet is continuously monitored throughout anaesthesia and recovery by our experienced veterinary team using modern monitoring equipment.
