**Additional charges apply** Vaccinations can help protect animals from life threatening diseases, and some vaccinations, such as Rabies, are required by Colorado law. Proof of RABIES vaccine is REQUIRED prior to surgery. If you cannot show proof of RABIES vaccination on/before the date of surgery, a rabies vaccine will be administered the day of surgery and charged accordingly. Vaccinations can be safely given to the animal the same day of certain surgical procedures, including spay/neuter; and this is much safer for your pet than remaining unvaccinated. Be aware that an animal’s immune system creates a stronger response and immunity when vaccinations are not given on the same day of surgery as it would when given at least 2-weeks prior to or 2-weeks after any sedative, anesthetic, or surgical event.

We believe providing & giving animals the most STRESS/FEAR FREE and PAINLESS experience as possible while at the clinic. All pets will receive PRE-MEDICATIONS including SEDATIVES/ANTI-ANXIETY/PAIN MEDICATIONS upon arrival at the clinic. Having a pre-surgical evaluation qualifies you for a SURGERY CREDIT/REWARD which can be used the day of surgery [up to $20 off the equivalent amount of additional products or services including a nail trim, anal gland check/expression, vaccines, E-collar purchase, medications, or additional surgical service] This evaluation will be used to get an accurate pet weight, draw pre-operative labwork, administer any wanted vaccines, confirm previous medical records/history and get MEDICATIONS to give the NIGHT BEFORE, the MORNING OF, and AFTER the surgery. This will benefit your pet because they will be LESS ANXIOUS or NAUSEATED prior to their arrival for their hospital stay AND it will SAVE YOU MONEY.
