Little things make a big difference in patient comfort.

• Our cage and run floors are always padded for warmth and comfort.
• Once vaccines are mixed, the needle is changed before administering to prevent using a dull needle.
• Pain medications are used with every surgery.
• Large dogs are examined and treated on the floor to decrease the stress of being on an exam table.
• The surgery table is padded for every surgery and the patient is treated to warm towels in recovery.
• Patients enjoy extra attention from the staff.
• Geriatric patients are allowed the same level of veterinary care as younger patients.  Heart ailments are not used as an excuse to allow dental disease to decrease the quality of life for our patients.  All patients (including heart patients) should be treated to reduce the pain associated with dental disease.
• Our cages and runs are air-conditioned and heated.
• Patients and guests are exercised three to four times a day.

All trauma and surgery patients benefit from appropriate pain medication.  Skimping on the quality or quantity of pain medication is not fair to the patient and should not be tolerated by the owner.
