Your pet’s veterinarian will perform their procedure with dedicated and trained technicians to oversee and chart your pet’s progress while under anesthesia. Every animal is examined by the doctor prior to the start of the procedure on the day of surgery. The surgeon then customizes an anesthetic and pain management protocol depending on your pet’s special needs. We utilize safe and modern pain management for your cats and dogs. Vitals are monitored closely while your pet is under anesthesia. Placing a IV catheter and intravenous fluids are recommended for most surgical procedures and may be required for some pets. These allow our team to better stabilize blood pressure and gives us immediate access to your pet’s circulatory system in case of a problem during anesthesia. Fluids also helps to flush the anesthetic through their system and leads to a faster and smoother recovery after their procedure. We continue to monitor your pet while they recover from anesthesia until they are ready to go home with you!

This vet has been a dream come true for our aging husky. They are responsive when we have questions and always have openings. They were thorough with our dog and explained all of our options and how much each would cost. Highly recommend.

I unfortunately had to do a " walk-in" with my elderly cat. I filled out the new patient forms on line and was promptly greeted when Chloe and I arrived. We were triaged and fit into the busy schedule in the most timely manner. All the staff were kind, and professional. Each procedure was explained clearly with pricing while also being sensitive to financial restraints. I will be moving all 3 of my elderly pets to this clean efficient practice. I highly recommend Epire Ranch Veterinary Hospital.

Compassionate and caring staff that always try to go above and beyond for pets and their parents. From check in to check out they never fail to make it feel so welcoming. Prices are fair and they do the best they can to work within a budget.

We recently adopted a young pup and needed to get his wellness check done and shots up to date. Empire Ranch is about a 30 minute drive for us, but it is WORTH IT. The office staff was so kind/happy when we walked in and everything was clean (and decorated for the holidays <3 ). We saw Dr. Kurth who was welcoming and gentle with our boy, he didn’t mind being there one bit! We’ve been to other offices in the past (previous state) where it just feels like you’re a number. Empire Ranch welcomes you like you’re family and treats you as such. We have 3 other pets and will definitely be making the drive back.

Plus I love that there’s plenty of parking and the front lobby is big enough people can spread out if they need to.
