Your Pet’s Safety Comes First

Your pet’s comfort and safety are our top priorities throughout every COHAT procedure:
1.
Pre-anesthetic physical exam and screening
2.
General anesthesia tailored to your pet’s needs
3.
Continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature
4.
A dedicated veterinary team monitoring your pet from start to finish
5.
Comprehensive pain management during and after the procedure
Dental X-rays are performed while your pet is safely anesthetized, allowing us to detect painful or hidden dental disease that cannot be seen during an awake exam.

Our goal is not just a clean smile — it’s a safer, healthier, and more comfortable pet.

"My dog Rufus is 14 years old he usually doesn’t like the vet, but Emilia was amazing! I’ve never seen him so happy, and he’s a grumpy old dog. This is the best vet service! If you love your dog you’d sneak them here. So amazing, can’t recommend enough. 😍"
