We want you to know with confidence that you are making the best decision for your pet's health.

Copeland Veterinary Hospital uses the most modern surgical and anesthetic monitoring equipment to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older and more high-risk patients.
During surgical procedures, we us electrosurgery. Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency (radio frequency) electrical current to biological tissue to make precise cuts with limited blood loss. Electrosurgical devices are frequently used during surgical operations helping to prevent blood loss in hospital operating rooms or in outpatient procedures.
