Routine or Complex Here, your pet only gets the best.

Gold-Standard Surgery Surgery is often necessary for your pet’s care, but we understand that surgery and anesthesia are always a concern for pet owners. At Family Veterinary Care of Oakdale, our hospital team goes above and beyond to uphold the highest medical standards to ensure your pet’s safety and welfare while they are under our care.

Modern, safe, effective surgical care
  • Pre-anesthetic screening tests — Each pet undergoes a complete physical examination and blood screening to evaluate organ function before anesthesia.
  • Customized anesthetic protocols — We use information from your pet’s health history and pre-anesthetic tests to customize the safest anesthetic plan for their needs.
  • Continuous monitoring — Your pet is assigned a dedicated team member who oversees their care for the day, including preoperative preparation, intraoperative monitoring, and post-operative recovery. We use advanced equipment and techniques to monitor vital signs and anesthetic depth throughout each procedure.
Anesthesia We take anesthesia seriously, and we implement every possible precaution before, during, and after your pet’s procedure to ensure a smooth recovery. Our veterinarians use these strategies for a safe experience
