Ensuring Pet Safety and Comfort Through Expert Surgery
Every Caring Hands Animal Hospital location is equipped with a surgical suite, allowing for both routine and urgent procedures. These can be scheduled with your preferred veterinarian from Monday to Friday.
Preparations
Our Licensed Veterinary Technicians keep a keen eye on the vitals of all surgical pets, and they use proper monitoring equipment to measure heart and respiratory rate, blood pressure, CO2 levels, and body temperature.
They administer pain medication before and after every surgical procedures to ensure your pet receives comfort and care every step of the way. If you require certain specialized service that is unavailable at our hospital, we will happily provide you with referrals and certified specialists.
Protocols
For your pet's surgical procedure, please adhere to these guidelines for their well-being:
- Do not feed your pet after 8:00 PM the night prior to surgery. Water in small quantities is acceptable.
- Admit your pet between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM to review and sign the Consent Form and Treatment Plan. Please allocate enough time to read carefully and discuss these forms. The surgical team will provide a post-operative update and schedule a discharge time.
- Pets undergoing routine surgeries will be released on the same day as their procedure.
- At the discharge appointment, we will explain post-surgical care and review all prescribed medications.

At Caring Hands Animal Hospital, our staff approaches every pet's surgical needs with kindness and professionalism towards both pet and owner.

Help Your Pet Feel Better with Gentle Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a safe, drug-free treatment that naturally relieves pain and speeds up healing in pets. Many owners report their pets moving more easily and appearing more comfortable after just one visit. This advanced technology works by energizing cells beneath the skin, boosting blood circulation, supporting tissue repair, and triggering endorphins that ease pain.
During treatment, a low-level laser is directed at the affected area for several minutes. The warmth is often relaxing for pets—some even nap through the session!
While it’s commonly used for older pets with arthritis, laser therapy is also effective for conditions like:
- Cuts and wounds
- Inflammation
- ACL tears
- Spinal disc problems
- Post-surgical soreness
If your pet is in pain or not as active as usual, talk to your vet about whether laser therapy might be the right solution to help them heal and thrive.
