Our Services

Soft Tissue Surgery

Our veterinary team routinely performs a variety of soft tissue procedures designed to correct internal conditions, remove abnormal growths, and improve your pet’s overall comfort and health. Common surgeries include:

  • Spaying and neutering
  • Tumor and lump removal
  • Cystotomy (removal of bladder stones)
  • Anal gland excision
  • Foreign object removal
  • Organ tissue biopsies

These procedures are often preventive or corrective, helping your pet lead a healthier life.

Orthopedic Surgery

Thanks to our strong partnership with local board-certified surgical specialists, we’re able to offer a wide array of orthopedic services right here at our clinic. These advanced procedures help pets with mobility issues, injuries, and genetic joint problems such as:

  • Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO)
  • Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO)
  • Bone fracture repair
  • Patellar luxation correction
  • Limb amputation, when necessary for comfort and health

By providing these services in-house, we ensure both convenience and continuity of care.

Oral Surgery

Dental problems often require surgical intervention, especially when teeth are damaged or diseased. Untreated dental issues can lead to severe pain and infection that may spread systemically. Our oral surgery capabilities include:

  • Routine and complex tooth extractions
  • Oral mass removals and biopsies
  • Gum (gingival) resection
  • Surgical treatment of oral trauma or injury

Our focus is always on relieving pain, preventing complications, and improving your pet’s quality of life.

We understand that having your pet undergo surgery can be stressful. That’s why we prioritize safety, comfort, and compassion at every stage. Our fully equipped surgical suite features modern instruments and monitoring systems. Prior to any procedure, we conduct pre-anesthetic blood testing and develop a personalized anesthesia and pain management plan. Throughout surgery and recovery, pets receive close monitoring and attentive nursing care. Our team will walk you through the process, keep you updated, and provide detailed aftercare instructions—so you and your pet feel fully supported. What to Expect During Surgery
