Anaesthesia

The anaesthesia and analgesia service runs alongside other disciplines within the Charter Group, in particular orthopaedic, soft tissue and neurosurgery. Your pet’s safety during all procedures is our utmost concern. As such, we have a range of modern anaesthetic agents and techniques available. These are tailored to each individual patient, and are monitored by our fully trained staff.
