Like you, our greatest concern is the well-being of your pet. Before putting your pet under anesthesia, we will perform a pre-surgical examination. However, many conditions, including disorders of the liver, kidneys, heart or blood, are not detected unless EKG and blood testing is performed. Such tests are especially important before any type of surgical procedure.
For these reasons, we highly recommend heart ($36.27) and blood ($94.52) screening and will perform these tests unless declined.
Our laboratory is fully equipped and staffed to perform these important heart and blood tests. Results will be immediately available to examine before anesthesia and/or surgery.

Please mark any additional procedures you would like preformed while your pet is under anesthesia:

Applicable to all animals undergoing a dental procedure: Our pets require sedation before a thorough evaluation of the mouth can be completed. While your pet is under anesthesia an x-ray of the mouth will be obtained to identify the presence of disease. The teeth will be completely cleaned, polished, and examined. The doctor will then extract any teeth that are loose, decaying, or pose a future health risk for your pet. It is much safer and cost effective to complete all dental procedures during this initial visit rather than schedule another appointment with general anesthesia required. Please understand that we will only do what we deem necessary for the future health and well-being of your pet.

I understand that the doctors and staff will use all reasonable precaution against injury, escape, or death of my pet. I understand that all anesthesia involves some minimal risk to my pet, and I will not hold the doctor and/or staff responsible under any circumstances. I understand that I assume all risks.
