Our Surgical Services

We offer a fully equipped surgical suite for both routine and elective procedures. Our experienced team performs a wide range of surgeries with a focus on precision, safety, and compassionate care.

Common procedures include:
  • Spays and neuters
  • Tumor and mass removal
  • Wound and laceration repair
  • Abdominal surgeries
  • Declaws
​
Prior to surgery, we perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork to evaluate your pet’s overall health and ensure they are a good candidate for anesthesia. During the procedure, your pet is placed on intravenous (IV) fluids to help maintain blood pressure and provide immediate access in case of emergency.
Throughout the entire process, a dedicated surgery technician closely monitors your pet’s vital signs—including heart rate and rhythm, breathing rate, blood pressure, carbon dioxide levels, and oxygen levels—to ensure their safety before, during, and after surgery.

What to expect.

We understand that surgery can be stressful, and our goal is to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible.
On the day of your pet’s procedure, our team will review important information with you, answer any questions, and collect a contact number so we can keep you updated on your pet’s progress.

To help reduce surgical risks, we recommend:
  • No food after midnight the night before surgery (water is ok until the morning of the surgery)
  • Only giving medications the morning of surgery if instructed with the smallest amount of food possible
  • Informing us of any medications, supplements, vitamins, or over-the-counter products your pet is receiving and when they were last given

After surgery, your pet will be carefully monitored during recovery and sent home with detailed instructions to support healing and comfort.

From preparation to recovery, we are committed to providing safe, compassionate surgical care—so you can feel confident every step of the way.
