Expert Care for Your Pet’s Comfort and Safety

At Urban Vet Care, we understand that the idea of anesthesia or sedation can make many pet owners feel uneasy. That’s why we prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication at every step. Our highly trained veterinary team uses modern anesthetic agents, advanced monitoring equipment, and individualized care plans to minimize risk and provide peace of mind.

Common Situations Requiring Anesthesia or Sedation

Certain veterinary procedures require medication to keep pets calm, pain-free, and safe, including:

  • Surgeries such as spay, neuter, or orthopedic procedures
  • Dental cleanings and oral surgery
  • Diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or ultrasounds
  • Biopsies, wound care, or mass removals
  • Procedures where stillness reduces risk or improves accuracy

By helping pets remain calm and pain-free, anesthesia allows us to complete treatments efficiently while minimizing stress for both pets and their owners.

Why Safe Anesthesia Matters

Modern anesthesia is both safe and highly effective, especially when administered by experienced professionals with the right equipment. Choosing anesthesia when recommended can:

  • Prevent pain and discomfort during necessary procedures
  • Allow for accurate diagnosis and treatment
  • Reduce stress and anxiety in fearful or sensitive pets
  • Ensure faster, smoother recoveries with appropriate monitoring

Delaying or avoiding anesthesia when it’s needed can make treating illness, dental disease, or injuries more difficult—and may impact your pet’s long-term health.

Our Anesthesia & Sedation Process

Your pet’s well-being is our highest priority. Before any anesthetic procedure, we perform a thorough physical exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork to identify underlying health concerns and tailor the plan to your pet’s unique needs.
During the procedure, a dedicated veterinary technician continuously monitors your pet’s heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature using advanced equipment. Afterward, pets are closely observed during recovery, ensuring they wake safely and comfortably.
