Surgery & Dentistry
This service is available at:
Bulger Veterinary Hospital
The medical team recognizes that surgery for your pet can be extremely stressful for you. Our team will take the time necessary to discuss all your concerns regarding any surgical procedure that has been recommended for you pet. Our hospital and staff are equipped and trained to perform both elective and emergency surgeries. During surgery your pet will be monitored using both modern equipment and experienced human observation.
Your pet’s recovery from anesthesia and post surgical treatment is managed and monitored by our experienced team of veterinary technicians and doctors. Warm cages, heating pads and human companionship help make your pet comfortable during his or her time at our hospital.
Dentistry
Your pet’s oral health is as important as your own. More than just bad breath, the inflammation and infection associated with periodontal disease can be a precursor for kidney, heart and liver problems. Be sure to keep their teeth clean with regular brushings. In addition to performing regular cleanings our medical staff can also perform dental extractions.
