Pet GeneralSurgery
At our clinics, our experienced team provides a full range of veterinary surgery services to help pets recover from illness, injury, or disease with confidence and comfort.
What Is Pet General Surgery?
Pet general surgery includes both routine and advanced procedures performed to diagnose, treat, or prevent a wide range of health concerns. Surgeries may involve soft tissue, internal organs, or the skin, and can include everything from lump removals to abdominal explorations and wound repairs.
Our team uses modern surgical techniques, sterile facilities, and high-quality anaesthetic monitoring to ensure every patient receives the best possible care. We treat each pet as an individual — tailoring anaesthesia, pain relief, and recovery plans to their specific needs for the safest and most comfortable experience.

Why Pet Surgery Matters
Surgery can be a crucial step in diagnosing and treating many medical conditions — from removing tumours to repairing internal injuries. With timely surgical intervention, pets can regain comfort, function, and quality of life.
Our team fully understand that surgery can be stressful for both pets and their owners. That’s why we communicate clearly, plan carefully, and use advanced anaesthetic and monitoring equipment to ensure your pet’s safety throughout every stage of their procedure. Our goal is always to restore health while minimising discomfort and recovery time.

FAQs About Pet Surgery
Is surgery safe for my pet?
Yes. We conduct full pre-surgical checks, including blood tests and physical exams, to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anaesthesia. During surgery, our team uses advanced monitoring equipment to track vital signs continuously.
How long will my pet’s recovery take?
Recovery times vary depending on the procedure and your pet’s overall health. Most pets recover within days to weeks with rest and at-home care, guided by our detailed recovery instructions.
Will my pet need to stay in the hospital overnight?
In most cases, your pet will be discharged the same day, but this will depend on the procedure your pet is having. Our team will advise what's best for your pet.
