Dental Cleaning and Extractions

Maintain your pet’s oral health with our professional dental cleaning and extraction services. We provide comprehensive dental care, including scaling, polishing, and extractions when necessary.  Our experienced team will ensure your pet’s comfort throughout the procedure. By the time your dog or cat is 3 years old, many are already living with some degree of dental disease.

Gingival Hyperplasia 

Gingival hyperplasia is a common condition in dogs, particularly in breeds like Boxers, where the gums overgrow and cover the teeth. This can lead to discomfort, difficulty eating, and dental disease. Our experienced veterinary surgeons provide expert gingival hyperplasia surgery to remove excess gum tissue and restore your dog’s oral health. We offer affordable options and prioritize your pet’s comfort throughout the procedure.

Mass Removals

Has your pet developed a lump or bump? Don’t wait! Early detection and removal is key. We specialize in the efficient removal of benign and malignant masses (tumors) in dogs and cats. Our skilled veterinary surgeons utilize the latest techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and a rapid recovery for your pet. We offer low-cost mass removal options because we believe every pet deserves access to quality care.

Bladder Stone Removal (Cystotomy)

Bladder stones can cause significant pain and urinary problems in dogs and cats. Our veterinary team is experienced in performing cystotomy surgery to remove bladder stones effectively. We’ll work with you to manage your pet’s condition and help prevent future stone formation. Please bring a recent x-ray of your pet’s abdomen to your consultation.

Example of a Cherry Eye in a Dog

Cherry Eye

Cherry eye occurs when the tear gland in a dog’s third eyelid prolapses, creating a red, swollen mass. Our expert veterinary surgeons can correct this condition with cherry eye surgery, restoring the gland to its normal position and function. We offer both single and bilateral cherry eye repair.

Enucleation (Eye Removal)

While eye removal may sound drastic, it can be the best option for pets suffering from painful eye conditions like glaucoma, trauma, or tumors. Our compassionate veterinary team performs enucleation surgery with the utmost care to ensure your pet’s comfort and well-being. We offer affordable enucleation services to help your pet live a pain-free life.

Entropion

Entropion is a condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing irritation and discomfort. Our skilled veterinary surgeons are experts in performing entropion surgery to correct the eyelid position and provide relief for your pet. We’ve successfully performed hundreds of these delicate procedures.

X-Ray of a Cat Needing a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO)

Femoral Head Ostectomy 

Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) is a surgical procedure that removes the head and neck of the femur (thigh bone). This is often performed to alleviate pain and restore mobility in dogs suffering from conditions like hip dysplasia, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, or severe arthritis.  After FHO surgery,  a “false joint” forms, allowing for pain-free movement. Our experienced veterinary surgeons perform FHO surgery with precision and provide comprehensive post-operative care to ensure a successful recovery for your pet.

Hernia Repair

Hernias occur when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle. This can happen in various areas of the body, including the abdomen (abdominal hernia), groin (inguinal hernia), belly button (umbilical hernia), and diaphragm (diaphragmatic hernia). Our skilled veterinary surgeons are experienced in repairing all types of hernias in dogs and cats, using the latest surgical techniques to ensure a successful outcome and a comfortable recovery for your pet.

Amputation

When a limb, toe, or tail is severely injured or diseased, amputation may be necessary to alleviate pain and improve your pet’s quality of life. Our compassionate veterinary team performs amputations with the utmost care and provides comprehensive post-operative support for a smooth recovery. We offer affordable amputation surgery to ensure your pet receives the necessary care.

Pyometra

Pyometra is a life-threatening uterine infection that requires immediate treatment. We understand the urgency of this condition and prioritize these surgeries when possible. Our highly experienced veterinary team will work quickly to stabilize your pet and perform the necessary surgery to save her life. We offer affordable pyometra surgery because we believe cost should not be a barrier to life-saving care.

Stenotic Nares Repair

Brachycephalic breeds (like Bulldogs and Pugs) often have narrowed nostrils (stenotic nares) that make breathing difficult. Our veterinary surgeons can perform stenotic nares repair to widen the nostrils and improve airflow, allowing your pet to breathe easier and live a more comfortable life.

Elongated Soft Palate Correction

Elongated soft palate is a common condition in brachycephalic dog breeds (those with short noses and flat faces) like French Bulldogs, Bulldogs, and Pugs. The excess tissue in the soft palate can obstruct the airway, causing breathing difficulties, snoring, and exercise intolerance. Our skilled veterinary surgeons perform corrective surgery to shorten the soft palate and improve airflow. This procedure can significantly enhance your dog’s quality of life and reduce the risk of serious respiratory complications. We offer affordable options and prioritize your pet’s comfort throughout the process.
