Pet Surgery

Before every procedure, we perform a full physical exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure your companion is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia. To maximize their comfort level, we also administer pain medication before the surgery, so your pet awakens with minimal or no discomfort. Our pain management protocols are specifically designed for your pet, so you can rest assured that their dosage is the perfect amount for them.

Surgeries we offer include:
  • Advanced Soft Tissue:
  • Spay and neuter
  • Mass removals
  • Cystotomy
  • Laceration repairs
Tips and Info for Owners
  • Make sure your pet does not eat anything after midnight before the day of surgery. Feed them their dinner, but no midnight snacks! However, they may have water up until their appointment.
  • It’s essential that you bring your pet in early on the day of surgery (the exact time will be discussed when the date is set). Even if a surgery is scheduled for the afternoon, we must get all the necessary bloodwork, exams, and preparation finished well ahead of time to stay on schedule.
  • After your pet is released, we’ll discuss at-home care and send you home with instructions and pain medication to help with discomfort.
