We know that leaving your pet with us for surgery requires a great deal of trust. Whether they’re here for a routine spay or neuter, dental procedure, mass removal or more complex surgery, our experienced veterinary team provides careful, individualized care from admission through recovery.
Our veterinarians combine surgical experience with modern diagnostic and monitoring technology, while our veterinary team makes sure there’s plenty of comfort and reassurance along the way.
Our veterinarians perform a wide range of procedures for dogs and cats, including:
Dr. Flora has a particular passion for veterinary dentistry and dental surgery, including more complex dental cases. Learn more about our comprehensive Dental Care for Pets.
Before anesthesia, we recommend pre-surgical bloodwork to help us understand what’s happening inside your pet’s body — not just what we can see during their physical exam.
This is important even for a seemingly healthy puppy or kitten coming in for a routine spay or neuter. A CBC (Complete Blood Count) can identify concerns such as anemia, infection or abnormalities in blood cells and platelets that may not cause any outward symptoms.
Together with other pre-anesthetic testing, this information helps our veterinarians make informed decisions and tailor the anesthetic plan to the individual patient.
Surgery isn’t just about the procedure itself. Your pet is carefully monitored throughout anesthesia and recovery, with close attention to vital signs, pain management, body temperature and individual needs.
And once surgery is over, the medical care continues — but so do the cuddles. This is our team’s favorite part of their day!
We know waiting at home can be the hardest part for pet parents. Whenever we can, we send you a post-op photo so you can see for yourself that your pet is awake, comfortable and getting some extra attention from our team – as you can see from these pictures.
From toys and socks to things that leave even us wondering “How did you manage to swallow that?”, foreign body surgery is sometimes necessary when a pet eats something they shouldn’t.
In this video, Dr. Wilson removes a rope from a dog’s stomach — a very real example of why exploratory surgery can sometimes be lifesaving. Thankfully, this patient recovered well and went home to their family.
When your pet is ready to leave, we’ll explain what to expect at home and provide instructions for medications, activity, incision care and follow-up.
And if something doesn’t seem right or you simply need reassurance after you get home, call us. We’d much rather answer your question than have you worrying.
The medical expertise, technology and careful monitoring matter enormously. But so does remembering that the patient on our surgical table is someone’s much-loved family member.
We never lose sight of that.
