Our Pet Surgery Services

How often do you wish you could speak to your pet? Animal surgery is a complicated practice because of that communication barrier, but we can establish your pet’s illness quickly and accurately with our diagnostic and technological tools. Once we have the information we need, we can provide you with top-tier surgical interference, including:

Diagnostic Testing

When your cat or dog has a limp, we can provide in-house digital X-rays that get you accurate images of your pet’s injury within minutes. With this critical information, we can treat your little buddy ASAP. For more complicated or in-depth imaging, we have an outside laboratory to compliment our toolbelt, ensuring your pet has all the testing technologies they could need.

Orthopedic Surgery

For simpler procedures, such as long-bone fracture repairs or FHO, our in-house team is able to handle the surgeries you need quickly and capably. We also have a board-certified orthopedic specialist on call for any advanced procedures your pet might need. We require a consultation and diagnostic imaging to ensure the best outcome for your pet.

Therapeutic Laser

Our K-laser is a cutting-edge tool for pain reduction, inflammation management, and circulation improvement. This non-medicinal approach can treat acute pain and inflammation resulting from surgery, bladder infections, or even chronic joint disease. If your pet’s comfort is a concern for you, our therapeutic laser treatments can provide a holistic and healthy approach to pain management.

Dental & Oral Surgery

One of the most common cat and dog surgery procedures is tooth removal. This popularity is because animals’ teeth aren’t just critical for food intake and nutrition. They are also critical health markers. They can become infected, spreading bacteria throughout their bodies and harming the heart, liver, or kidneys. We have a full-service dental suite to care for your pet’s teeth, gums, and all aspects of oral health!

Soft Tissue Surgery

Our surgical suite is fully stocked with the latest and greatest medical technology, ensuring that our surgeon can provide the best possible outcome when your beloved pet needs surgery. We use a Ligasure device, which allows much faster and cleaner sealing of incisions. This reduces surgery time by half, providing faster and safer procedures, as well as less stressful waiting times for you and your family.

CO2 Surgical Laser

A CO2 surgical laser is a surgical tool that provides cleaner surgical incisions for better post-operative outcomes. Swelling and pain are common after surgeries like soft palate resections (common in pugs, bulldogs, and Frenchies), but the CO2 laser can help with that. This tool makes it possible to use a local anesthetic rather than riskier general anesthesia for minor surgeries, such as skin tag or skin growth removal.

Seeing your dog or cat off for surgery can be incredibly stressful, so our surgeon works closely with you to ensure that you have everything you need to feel your furry friend is in the right hands. Whether it’s a simple tooth extraction or a more complicated orthopedic surgery, we are your professional and friendly choice for professional pet surgery.

Our practice is committed to using the best possible tools to help your pet during surgery.
