How do you keep my pet safe during surgery?

Every surgery at Cherrydale is supported by anesthesia monitoring, including EKG, pulse oximetry, blood oxygen and blood pressure readings, and temperature regulation. We also recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork and tailor each anesthetic to your pet's age, weight, and health so we can reduce risk as much as possible.
