Many owners are nervous about placing their pets under anesthesia. However, you can take comfort in knowing that CVS uses the safest anesthetic drugs possible. We strive to make the anesthetic procedure as stress-free as possible for our patients.

For our canine patients Dr. Winter first administers an injectable anesthetic, which helps them relax. After they are very relaxed, he then intubates, and connects the patient to the gas anesthetic. While under anesthesia, the dog’s vitals, such as heart rate and respiratory rate are closely being monitored by our trained technicians.

For our feline patients Dr. Winter administers an injectable anesthesia that takes about 15 minutes to completely take effect. Once the feline patient is completely asleep we can begin our procedure. CVS’s feline anesthesia often keeps the patient asleep most of the day, so they are closely monitored during the procedure and on regular intervals during recovery.
