Your pet should not have anything to eat after midnight the night before the surgery. This fasting period helps prevent complications during anesthesia.
Take your pet for a short walk in the morning to allow them to relieve themselves. A brief stroll can help your pet stay relaxed and prevent anxiety.
Arrive at the veterinary clinic at the designated time provided by the clinic staff. Punctuality is crucial to ensure that the pre-surgery preparations can proceed smoothly.
