Intensive Care for Pets
Quality intensive care is critically important to the successful recovery of your pet.
Compassionate Intensive Care for Your Pet
At All for Paws Animal Clinic, we are able to perform a wide variety of surgical procedures including orthopedic, cancer and emergency surgeries. Many of these patients will require intensive care post-operatively.
Our recovery area is equipped and staffed to aid our patients in a gentle, safe and pain-free recovery. After surgery, patients are put into our recovery area to optimize the recovery process. Our veterinary doctors and licensed veterinary technicians (LVT) will care for your pet as it was their own, to ensure a gentle surgical recovery and to prepare for their return home.
