Routine and Specialty Surgeries

There are times when your pet may need a surgical procedure and we realize this may be stressful. We are happy to answer any questions you have and will take care of your pet as our own before, during, and after their stay. With most surgeries, your pet will go home the same day but a handful of procedures require your pet to stay longer.
