Anesthesia for Pets

The Anesthesia for Pet

Anesthesia for pets can be a scary concept for pet owners. Not only must you come to terms with the condition that is prompting the need for anesthesia, but you must also grapple with the possible side effects that could arise from its use. Some pet owners might even delay treatment for their pet as a result of their fears.


At SRVC, our staff is comprised of highly-experienced professionals who are skilled at procedures such as diagnostics, surgery and more. While in our care, your pet receives advanced anesthesia services that are comprehensive and safe.


Anesthesia and Your Pet’s Safety

Here at SRVC, the decision to recommend a diagnostic test or surgery that requires anesthesia for pets is not something that we take lightly. We care about the safety of your pet and make all treatment decisions based on the same optimal outcome projections that we would use for our own pets.

The Anesthesia Process and Your Pet

Once our staff has determined that anesthesia is necessary to provide your pet with the best care, we carefully screen him or her by performing numerous tests prior to anesthesia. In addition, we tailor the anesthesia protocol we use to suit your pet as well as the condition that he or she has. Throughout the anesthesia process — before, during and after — our caring staff and veterinarians monitor the condition of your pet with the sole focus of ensuring that they have the best possible outcome.

What Our Clients Say

C. Mayfield

I have seen a lot of changes since I have been a client at Shackleford Veterinarian Clinic since 1996. The best change of all was when Dr. Barron started. You will not find a better veterinarian or staff!

Tiffany Williams

SRVC answered all of my questions and even allowed me to come back after my appointment to update and add information to my pet's health certificate. I would highly recommend this vet to anyone. They go above and beyond expectation.

Ashley Hurst

I will forever be thankful that Dr. Barron was recommended by my neighbor! My pets have been treated at several different veterinary clinics, but no one

has ever compared to Dr. Barron. The front desk staff and vet techs could not be kinder!

Your Role When Your Pet Needs Anesthesia

The staff and doctors at SRVC understand how difficult this time can be for you. You think of your pet as being part of the family and want only the best for him or her. In addition, we know you will likely have questions about the medications that your pet will receive during the process. You are encouraged to ask these questions or raise your concerns at any point during your visit.


At SRVC, the health and happiness of your pet is our primary objective. We understand how a procedure requiring anesthesia for pets can be nerve-wracking for a loving pet owner. We’re here to do everything possible to help ease your mind as we work together to provide your pet with the best care and outcome.
