Clinic Policy: If your pet is unvaccinated or overdue for vaccines, we will immunize or reschedule the appointment to prevent intra-hospital infection. If your pet cannot receive vaccinations due to health reasons, your pet will be housed in our isolation ward for their protection and for the protection of other pets in the hospital. There will be a charge for any pet housed in isolation.
If fleas or flea droppings are found on your pet, we will treat with an appropriate flea medication. There will be a charge for administered flea medications.
IV Fluids: These intravenous fluids help ensure safe anesthesia and help patients have better post-operative recovery. All pets undergoing anesthesia with have an IV catheter placed and fluids administered during the procedure.
Pre-Surgical/Anesthetic Blood Screen: This testing will help the veterinarian to identify pre-existing conditions not evident upon the pre-anesthetic examination which may cause complications involving anesthesia. This is recommended for all pets undergoing anesthesia and very strongly recommended for pets over 5 years of age. ($81.00-$224.00)
Overnight care at SFPC is unsupervised at times outside of normal business hours. For safety reasons, no continuous IV fluids are given during hours where pets are not under direct supervision.
