Secaucus Animal Hospital ascribes to the high standards of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).  As an AAHA-accredited hospital, we belong to a distinguished group comprised of less than 20% of veterinary hospitals in the United States. 

• Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:  Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.

• Surgical Services:  Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures including: spays, neuters, tumor removals, cystotomies to remove bladder stones, gastrotomies, intestinal resection and anastomoses to remove foreign bodies and intestinal tumors, splenectomies, abdominal exploratories and urethrostomies.  We do NOT perform any type of elective declaw surgery (onychectomy).  We do have an on call board-certified surgeon available to perform orthopedic surgeries such as cruciate repair, patella luxation surgery, and fracture pinning and plating.
  

• Anesthesia:  We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide that extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high risk patients. Prescreen bloodwork is recommended on all surgical patients to evaluate liver and kidney function and anesthestic protocols are tailored to the individual patient.  All patients are intubated and isoflurane gas anesthesia is used.  Our patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.
