We Know It’s Not Always The Prettiest 🫣
Why we prep and shave before surgery ✂️🐾
Before any surgery, it’s important to carefully clip and clean the surgical area — like you see here! Shaving the fur helps remove hair that can trap dirt and bacteria, while cleaning the skin with a special antiseptic scrub reduces the risk of infection; A skin infection can delay or even cancel surgery — your pet’s safety always comes first! 🐾
This step may seem simple, but it’s one of the most important parts of keeping our patients safe and ensuring a smooth, sterile procedure from start to finish. 💜✨
