Getting to Know Your Pet

In most cases, we like to see your pet for a consultation before we ever schedule a surgery. This gives us the chance to examine them, understand their history, answer your questions, and build a surgical plan that's tailored to their specific needs rather than a one size fits all approach. It also gives you the chance to get comfortable with our compassionate veterinary team before the day of the procedure arrives.


Before any surgical procedure, we run lab work to confirm your pet is healthy and ready for anesthesia. This bloodwork gives us a clear picture of how their organs are functioning and helps us catch any underlying issues that could affect how they respond to anesthesia. It's a simple step that adds an important layer of safety and confidence heading into surgery day.

The Kind of Surgeries We Perform

Our in-house surgical capabilities cover a wide range of needs:

  • Spays and neuters are common and impactful procedures for a pet's long term health.
  • Mass removals address lumps, growths, or tumors.
  • Bladder stone removals help pets dealing with painful and potentially dangerous urinary blockages.
  • Amputations may be necessary when a limb can no longer be saved or is affecting your pet's quality of life.

For more complex cases that call for specialized expertise, we partner with a board certified surgeon who works alongside our team right here in the hospital. Whatever the procedure, your pet is getting the same level of thoughtful, attentive care from start to finish.


A Dedicated Technician, By Your Pet’s Side

From the moment your pet goes back for surgery to the moment they're ready to head home, they have a dedicated technician assigned specifically to them. That technician provides full anesthetic monitoring throughout the entire procedure and stays with your pet all day long, watching vital signs, providing comfort, and making sure nothing is missed. Your pet is never just another patient on a schedule. 


Dropping your pet off for surgery and then waiting all day for news is hard. That's why we send text updates throughout the day to keep you informed on how things are going, so you're never left guessing. Once your pet is home, we don't disappear either. We'll follow up with a phone call or text the next day to check in and see how they're recovering.

Aftercare and Follow Up, Handled Right

Recovery is just as important as the surgery itself, and we're here for all of it. If you have questions about aftercare instructions, our team is available during regular business hours to walk you through medications, activity restrictions, incision care, or anything else on your mind. When it's time, we can also schedule suture removal or recheck appointments as needed to make sure healing is right on track.
