Services
Soft Tissue Surgery for Dogs and Cats
Our clinic performs soft tissue surgery: spay/neuter, tumor removal and foreign-body removal.
These procedures are carried out directly at the clinic, with no referral to another vet — from the first exam through surgery and post-operative care, you stay with the same team that knows your pet's history.
For owners that means less waiting and less stress for the animal: no extra trip to another clinic and no repeating the history to a new vet.
What surgery includes
Spay/neuter for dogs and cats — an elective procedure most often performed on young, healthy animals at the owner's decision.
Tumor surgery — removal of a lump or growth found on the skin or in the digestive organs; the decision to operate is made after an exam and, when needed, with a cytology result.
Foreign-body removal from the skin or digestive organs — when a pet has swallowed or is carrying an object that doesn't belong there.
Guide for owners
When an Exam Is Needed
Book an exam for soft tissue surgery if:
- you're planning to spay or neuter your pet
- you notice a lump or growth on the skin that's growing or changing
- you suspect your pet has swallowed something that isn't food (a toy, string, a bone)
Orthopedic injuries (fractures, ligament problems) are not treated surgically in our clinic — for those, we refer you to specialist colleagues.
Surgery process
What the Procedure Looks Like
Exam and decision
Based on the exam, we decide whether — and what kind of — surgery is needed.
Patient preparation
We let you know about any fasting needed before anesthesia when you book.
The surgery itself
The procedure is performed at the clinic, within the agreed scope of soft tissue surgery.
Wake-up and observation
After the procedure, the patient is observed until they wake up from anesthesia.
Recovery instructions
You receive instructions for care and recovery at home.
What the clinic doesn't do
Orthopedic surgery is not performed in our clinic – when needed, we refer you to colleagues who specialize in it.
