Getting ready for your dog’s big day? 🐾

Here’s how to set them—and you—up for success:
• Week Prior: Ask your vet about any extra tests (blood work, X-rays, ultrasounds) and plan your ride to and from the clinic.
• Night Before: Create a quiet recovery zone at home—crate, cozy bedding, separate from pets/kids—and gather meds/food.
• Morning Of: No breakfast! A fasted pup helps keep anesthesia safe. Always follow your vet’s specific instructions.

Have questions? Reach out—our board-certified surgical team is here to help!
