Will my veterinarian give me post-op instructions?

At Waco, we make sure that you go home with specific instructions on what to do for your dog regarding medications, resting, keeping them away from their incision and making sure you're comfortable with your dog's post-op care.

Yes. We will send you home with a document, and our technicians or us will go over what to expect for the next couple of days, things to be on the lookout for and answer any of your questions before sending your pet home.

Yes, we provide discharge instructions for all of our spays and neuters. The veterinarian who conducts the procedure will also call you post-op to explain how the operation went and to discuss these instructions, which cover activity, cone usage, check-ups, and any other details relevant to your pet. We also provide written discharge instructions for you to review at your convenience.

Absolutely. We want to make sure that you know what we want you to do when you take your little dog home, so we're going to write it all down for you and we're going to give you written instructions. We're either going to hand them to you or we're going to digitally email them to you, ideally both.

Certainly. Veterinarians make sure to send home instructions via email, and you will receive the same print-off when you come to pick up your pet. A registered technician will also be available to answer any questions or concerns you might have. They will also go over the discharge papers, explaining what to expect in terms of feeding and caring for your pet's incision site.
