Common Low-Cost Pet Surgeries We Perform in Arizona

Spays and Neuters

We offer affordable spay and neuter services for dogs and cats of all ages.  Spaying or neutering your pet helps prevent unwanted litters, reduces the risk of certain cancers, and can improve behavior. Read more of the benefits on spaying and neutering your pet or schedule an appointment today.

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.

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.

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.

Femoral Head Osteotomy

Femoral Head Osteotomy (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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Did you know you can prevent Pyometra with a spay procedure? Find out more about how spays can help on our blog.

Other Surgeries

Even if you don’t see your pet’s specific condition listed, we may be able to help. Our veterinary team is experienced in a wide range of surgical procedures. Contact us today to discuss your pet’s needs and learn more about our affordable surgical options.

We needed to get a foster dog ready for adoption ASAP, which included neutering. We were happy to get an appointment at Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit that wasn't weeks away. Unfortunately, the morning vet became ill and had to cancel morning appointments. But the office did everything they could to work us in later in the day. Everyone was so nice and accommodating! Beau had his surgery and, two weeks later, was placed in a loving forever home 💗 We're very happy with our experience at Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit.

We recently brought our dog, Raylan, to Dr. Kelly’s Surgical Unit in North Phoenix for neutering, dental x-rays, and a general teeth cleaning. From start to finish, the entire staff was incredible - professional, compassionate, and so attentive to both Raylan and us. A very special thank you goes to Yazmeen, whose kindness, communication, and care truly made the experience outstanding!! Veterinary visits can sometimes feel stressful, but this one was smooth and reassuring thanks to the whole team. We would absolutely recommend Dr. Kelly’s Surgical Unit to anyone looking for exceptional veterinary care.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this veterinary clinic. When my dog Purdy needed emergency surgery, I was terrified—but from the moment we arrived, the entire team treated us with compassion, patience, and genuine care. They not only saved my dog’s life, but they also made sure I felt informed and supported every step of the way. Heather I believe was her name was thorough, and gentle, explaining everything clearly so I understood what was happening. The staff showed so much love to my dog, treating her as if she were their own. Thanks to their quick action and expertise, she came through surgery safely and is now on the road to recovery. It’s rare to find a place that combines such exceptional medical knowledge with such heartfelt kindness. I will forever be grateful to this clinic for giving me more time with my sweet girl. If you’re looking for a veterinary team you can truly trust with your pet’s life, this is the place- thank you

Frequently Asked Questions:

What happens during my pet’s surgery appointment?

Your pet will receive a comprehensive pre-surgical examination, individualized sedation and anesthesia monitoring, the scheduled procedure, closely supervised recovery, and detailed discharge instructions for home care. From check-in to discharge, our experienced medical team provides attentive monitoring and compassionate care every step of the way, with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and a positive experience for both pets and their families.

We understand that surgery can feel stressful for pet parents, which is why we are committed to clear communication, gentle handling, and high-quality medical care throughout your pet’s visit. Every patient is treated as an individual, with protocols tailored to their specific needs to help ensure the safest and most comfortable experience possible.

How long will my pet stay at the hospital?

We understand it can be difficult to be away from your pet, and our team works hard to make their stay with us as safe, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. Because procedure times and recovery needs can vary throughout the day depending on the surgical schedule and each patient’s individual needs, we ask that pet owners plan for their pet to remain with us for the day. Our medical team carefully monitors every patient throughout their procedure and recovery period. Once your pet’s procedure is complete, we will contact you with an update and provide an estimated pickup time for heading home.

What should I expect after surgery?

After surgery, it is normal for pets to be sleepy, quieter than usual, or have a temporarily decreased appetite as the effects of sedation and anesthesia wear off. Some pets may also need a little extra rest and comfort during the first few days of recovery.

Before your pet goes home, our discharge team will review detailed aftercare instructions with you, including medications, feeding recommendations, incision care, activity restrictions, and what to expect during the healing process. We want you to feel confident caring for your pet at home, and our team is always happy to answer questions and provide guidance throughout recovery. We’ll also follow up the next day to see how your pet is doing.

Do you offer products to help support recovery after surgery? (include retail product shot of
proviable)

Yes! We offer supportive care products designed to help pets recover comfortably at home. Depending on your pet’s needs and procedure, your veterinary team may recommend items such as e-collars, sedatives, or probiotics like Proviable®-Forte to help rebalance your pets gut after anesthesia and medications.

Can I add services during my pet’s appointment?

Additional services such as vaccinations, nail trims, microchipping, or other preventative care options will be available during your pet’s visit. Your technician will review available options with you during check-in.
