- Our surgeons are highly qualified and trained in surgery, but NOT board-certified
- Unpredictable complications can occur with any anesthetic procedure. The published risk of anesthetic death in young, healthy pets is 0.2%
- Risks increase with certain breeds (pug/bulldogs), age, other co-morbidities
