When a beloved pet needs surgery, it’s natural to feel a mix of concern and uncertainty. Knowing how to prepare your pet for the procedure can help ensure they go into surgery calm and ready, while also setting the stage for a smooth recovery. At Starkville Veterinary Hospital, our goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Here’s what every pet owner should know to prepare their furry friend for surgery.

As a pet owner, you know that your furry friend's health and well-being are of utmost importance. While many pet owners prioritize their pet's overall physical health, the importance of regular dental exams is often overlooked. However, maintaining your pet's oral health is crucial for their overall well-being and longevity. By understanding the importance of regular dental exams, you can take proactive steps to ensure your pet's long-term health and happiness.

When it comes to the safety and well-being of our beloved pets, we want to do everything in our power to protect them. One crucial step in ensuring their safety is microchipping. Microchipping involves implanting a tiny device under your pet's skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This device contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by a veterinarian or animal shelter to retrieve your contact information.

Pet emergencies can occur unexpectedly and can be a highly stressful time for both you and your pet. These situations often require quick thinking and immediate action. Understanding what constitutes a pet emergency can make a significant difference in your pet's health outcome.
