Types of Dog Surgeries We Offer
Spays and Neuters
Spaying or neutering your dog is a crucial aspect of responsible pet ownership. These routine procedures help prevent unwanted litters and can reduce the risk of certain cancers and other health issues. The surgeries are minimally invasive and typically involve a short recovery time, ensuring your dog’s health and comfort throughout the process.
Mass Removals and Tumor Surgery
If your dog has been diagnosed with a mass, whether benign or malignant, we offer comprehensive surgical options to remove these growths. Tumor removal is essential to prevent further health complications and ensure that malignant cells do not spread. We use advanced surgical techniques and ensure a smooth recovery through careful postoperative care.
Abdominal Surgeries for Internal Health
Abdominal surgeries, including splenectomies (removal of the spleen), are performed to treat conditions affecting your dog’s internal organs. Whether it’s addressing tumors, infections, or internal injuries, we prioritize your pet's safety and well-being. Our high-quality anesthesia and proficient surgical care ensure a safe and comfortable recovery.
Bladder Stone Removal
Bladder stones are a common condition in dogs, and when they become problematic, surgical removal may be necessary. We offer bladder stone removal surgery to address blockages and prevent further complications such as infections or bladder damage, helping restore your dog’s comfort and urinary function and focusing on a gentle recovery.
Foreign Body Surgery
If your dog has swallowed something harmful or has an obstructed digestive tract, foreign body surgery may be needed to remove the object. Common issues include swallowed toys, bones, or other blockages that may prevent proper digestion. We use sterile techniques and advanced anesthesia monitoring to ensure your dog’s safety during the procedure.
Orthopedic Surgery Referrals
While our main focus is on soft tissue surgeries, we understand that orthopedic procedures such as hip or knee surgeries are occasionally necessary. Although we do not perform these surgeries directly, we work with Dr. Moody, a highly experienced mobile orthopedic surgeon. He performs these specialized surgeries here at our clinic. After an initial consultation, we can schedule Dr. Moody to perform the procedure, providing your dog with the orthopedic surgical care your pet needs.
Your Pet’s Comfort and Safety Come First
Both Dr. Berthiaume and Dr. Ferrari prioritize your dog’s comfort and safety during every surgical procedure. Using advanced anesthesia monitoring, sterile techniques, and gentle care, we ensure the best possible outcomes for your dog’s surgery. Whether it’s a routine spay, complex abdominal procedure, or the removal of a mass, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of surgical care for your pet.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery
Before Surgery
Before any surgical service for dogs, we perform a thorough examination to assess your dog’s overall health. Depending on the procedure, we may require blood work or imaging to ensure that your dog is fit for surgery. You will also receive pre-surgical instructions, including fasting guidelines to prepare your dog for anesthesia.
During Surgery
Our veterinary team uses the latest surgical techniques and equipment to perform the surgery safely and efficiently. We closely monitor your dog’s vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure their safety. Pain management protocols are in place to keep your dog comfortable during and after the surgery.
After Surgery
After the surgery, we provide detailed instructions for post-operative care. We will monitor your dog’s recovery closely to ensure there are no complications. Pain management and proper wound care are essential, and we will guide you through the process to ensure your dog heals properly and comfortably.

Whether it’s for improving the quality of life, preventing further health complications, or addressing injuries, dog surgery plays a crucial role in your dog’s health. From routine spays to complex surgeries, the right procedure can make a significant difference in your dog’s well-being.
