At Ravenwood Veterinary Clinic, your pet's safety and comfort are our top priority, so you can be sure that your pet will receive safe and excellent surgical care. We perform a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness won't lead to a complication. Pre-surgical blood testing for proper organ function is also recommended before putting your pet under anesthesia. Testing can significantly reduce medical risk and ensure pet health and safety.

We carefully determine the type and amount of anesthetic to be used depending on the health of your pet. Throughout the surgery, all patients are monitored with technologically advanced equipment including a pulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor, and respiratory monitor. Surgical patients are also placed on intravenous fluids administered through an infusion pump and kept warm throughout the procedure. Appropriate medications are also administered during and after surgery to minimize stress and pain.  Our elective surgical cases are normally performed on a same-day basis, which means your pet is sent home on the same day and can recover at home.

 If a more specialized surgery is required for your pet, we work with local boarded veterinary surgeons at one of several referral practices such as Veterinary Specialists of Alaska and Alaska Mobile Veterinary Surgery.

Dental Care
 Dental disease is the most commonly diagnosed  disease in dogs and cats.  If left untreated, it can lead to other serious health conditions affecting vital organs. At Ravenwood Veterinary Clinic, oral health screenings, instructions on preventive brushing and home dental care are part of our annual exams and wellness visits. When dental problems and oral diseases are diagnosed, a dental procedure may be recommended. Our veterinarians and technicians have had advanced training with board certified veterinary dental specialists and can perform routine cleanings, extractions, gingival debridement, oral mass removals and other dental procedures. Ravenwood Veterinary Clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art oral surgical and diagnostic equipment, such  as digital radiography and we utilize advanced pain management  protocols, providing your pet with a safe and comfortable dental procedure.
