At Valley Center Veterinary Clinic, every surgery includes a pre-anesthetic exam, pain management, an e-collar, and a trained technician who monitors your pet’s anesthesia from start to finish. Pre-anesthetic blood work is highly recommended for all surgical procedures, and may be required based on the age and health of the pet.

Pre-anesthetic blood work is highly recommended for all surgical procedures, and may be required based on the age and health of the pet.
