Pet Surgery

At Companion Animal Clinic, we understand that surgery—no matter how routine—can be stressful for both pets and their people. That’s why our experienced team delivers surgical care with precision, vigilance, and a commitment to your pet’s comfort and safety. We perform a wide range of procedures for dogs, cats, and exotic pets using modern equipment and a calm, attentive approach to every case.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Surgery

Before any surgical procedure, we’ll walk you through what to expect and answer all of your questions. Your pet will receive a full physical exam and pre-anesthetic testing to ensure they’re a good candidate for anesthesia. During surgery, we use advanced monitoring to track heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and more. Pain management is a top priority both during and after the procedure, because your pet’s comfort matters just as much as the outcome.
 
After surgery, we’ll go over home care instructions, medication schedules, and follow-up visits to make sure your pet is healing well. We’re just a phone call away if you ever have questions or concerns during recovery.
 

Pet Surgical Services We Provide

Spay &
Neuters

Spaying or neutering your pet offers both medical and behavioral benefits, including reduced risk of certain cancers and a lower likelihood of roaming, marking, and territorial aggression. We offer routine spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats to help prevent health issues and unwanted litters.

Wound Repairs &
Mass Removals

From minor injuries to suspicious lumps, we offer soft tissue surgeries to remove masses, close wounds, and help your pet heal. All removed tissue can be sent for biopsy to ensure we’re providing the most informed care.

Perineal Urethrostomy

We perform perineal urethrostomy (PU) procedures for male cats with recurrent urinary blockages. This advanced surgery can improve quality of life and prevent life-threatening emergencies.

Yes, we regularly perform surgery, such as spays and neuters, on exotic pets like rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs. These procedures require species-specific knowledge, which our team is trained in.

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery and your pet’s age and health. Most pets go home the same day and start feeling better within a few days. We’ll guide you on activity restrictions and schedule a follow-up visit to check healing progress.
