Comprehensive Surgical Care for Pets

Veterinary surgery may be recommended to treat injuries or medical conditions, or to support your pet’s long-term health and comfort. Our team carefully evaluates each patient and develops treatment plans tailored to their individual needs. These plans may include pre-surgical bloodwork.

Common surgical procedures may include:

  • Spay and neuter procedures
  • Soft tissue surgery
  • Mass removals
  • Orthopedic procedures
  • Dental-related surgery

We focus on clear communication so you understand your pet’s procedure, recovery process, and follow-up care recommendations.

Pre-Surgical Guidelines

Following these guidelines helps ensure your pet is properly prepared for surgery.
  • Fasting: Your pet must be fasted prior to surgery. Please give no food after 8 PM the night before surgery, including breakfast and treats the morning of surgery.
  • Water: Your pet may have water as usual.
  • Surgical Consent & Estimate: At your scheduled drop-off time, you will be provided with a surgical consent form and an estimate. Both documents require your signature before your pet’s procedure.

Focused on Safety & Comfort

Your pet’s safety and comfort are important throughout every stage of surgery. Before any procedure, our veterinary team performs examinations and diagnostic evaluations to help ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and surgery.

During surgery, we closely monitor patients and provide pain management support designed to improve comfort and recovery.
