Surgery
Safe, skilled, and compassionate surgical care for every pet
Surgery can feel overwhelming for any pet parent. That is why our team at Family Pet Medical Center focuses on safety, communication, and comfort from the moment you arrive. We provide a full range of surgical procedures using modern techniques, attentive monitoring, and gentle postoperative care. Your pet is always treated with the same compassion and focus we would want for our own.
Your pet’s wellbeing is our priority. Before surgery, we complete a full exam and diagnostic screening to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. During the procedure, our team uses careful monitoring and modern equipment to maintain stable vital signs and keep your pet comfortable and safe.
We also provide tailored pain management and thoughtful recovery plans designed to support healing and reduce stress after surgery.
