Any additional surcharges required (i.e. gastropexy, cryptorchid, hernia repair, etc.) are excluded from the Healthy Start discount.
The following must be completed for you to receive the Healthy Start discount:
Pre-anesthetic blood testing: Our greatest concern is the well-being of your pet. Before putting your pet under anesthesia, a blood panel (CBC/Chemistry screen) will be performed to help reduce many of the risks of surgery. A pre-anesthetic coagulation screening test (PT/APTT) can be added on at additional cost but is not necessary for the discount.
Intravenous Fluids: IV fluids are mandatory for all canine & feline spays, canine neuters and other major surgical procedures. Administration of intravenous fluids will help to maintain your pet's blood pressure and increase his/her circulation during the anesthetic. It will also help him/her to recover more quickly. The intravenous catheter is also used to administer medication if needed.
The next question pertains to felines only. If you have a canine, please select 'Does not apply' and skip to the next section.
Retrovirus Testing: Cats with FeLV or FIV infections may live for many years and pass the infection to other cats. Retrovirus testing can diagnose infection (not just clinical disease). *
After Surgery Wear: To prevent licking/chewing of the incision, a cone collar is provided with the spay/neuter package. An after surgery suit is also available for purchase separately (prices vary by size).
