Our Soft Tissue Surgery Options

Our skilled team will work hard to preserve and improve the health, functionality, and quality of life of your precious pets, starting now and continuing for years into the future.

We leverage advanced in-house technology and years of experience to confidently perform a broad range of treatments, covering many different parts of the body, including, but not limited to:

Our Precise & Comprehensive Surgical Process

When your pet is experiencing pain or discomfort for unknown reasons, we are dedicated to uncovering the root of their issue and offering solutions swiftly and with care. We begin with an initial consultation where our friendly and attentive veterinary team will perform a comprehensive physical examination, carefully checking your pet from head to tail. Our practice is equipped with modern diagnostics and an in-house laboratory to run detailed blood tests if deemed necessary. Once we've determined which surgical procedure is the right choice for their needs and that they are healthy enough to undergo anesthesia, we will schedule surgery for a later date convenient for your schedule.

Safety and communication are always a priority, and we are committed to ensuring your pet experiences a safe and effective soft tissue surgery delivered in a convenient timeframe. We will devise an efficient plan of action to help restore your pet's health, functionality, and quality of life, offering laser therapy following surgery to help with the healing process and pain management.

Soft Tissue Surgery for Cats & Dogs FAQ

We are caring pet parents, just like you. Our team understands that you have questions, and we are happy to address any of your concerns regarding soft tissue surgery for pets upon arriving at our office. We will never leave you in the dark about any step of our process. Some frequently asked questions regarding soft tissue surgery include:

Can I feed my pet before surgery?

We ask that you do not feed your pet the morning before surgery, as it helps to reduce the chances of regurgitation before or after anesthesia. A small amount of water should be fine.

This varies dramatically based on the case, but generally, most wounds will heal after two to three weeks of productive recovery. Make sure to keep your pet resting in a quiet, comfortable environment with a controlled temperature and reduced distractions. Following surgery, we can offer laser therapy services which helps to speed up the recovery period and optimize comfort.

Orthopedic surgeries are procedures that involve the bones, muscles, and joints. We collaborate with an outside, trusted orthopedic surgeon who can perform procedures for your pet in our office if needed.

Testimonials

"I have been going to Dogwood for 6 or 7 years and have never had a negative experience! My young golden retriever goes regularly to Daycare and can hardly wait to get in the door when I drop her off! She runs to greet the reception staff and drools for her cookie! Just look at some Facebook pictures and you will see what a great time the dogs have! She comes home tired and happy! The staff knows her and always let me know if there were problems during the day! A very caring, supportive group! Wouldn't take my girls anywhere else!"

"Molly and PeeWee know, as soon as I get out the special blankets and the bag with their Dogwood tags, that they are coming to stay with you and get pampered. They run in circles and race to their leashes. Once they are at the resort and spa, they enthusiastically greet the staff and head back to their room. I greatly appreciate that they can be boarded together and that everybody understands their special needs. It is an honor and a privilege to recommend you and your practice. Thanks for everything you do for me and my family members. I always feel completely confident that you and your staff will treat them as if they were your own family members, with great care and concern."

"We are so grateful to have Dogwood Veterinary Hospital for our three Boxers. If one were able to dream of the perfect care animal practice for our best friends, this is it!! Dogwood provides the highest level of professional care for our dogs. From the phenomenal doctors and vet techs, warmth and efficiency of staff and the kindness and love showed by all, Dogwood continues to exceed our expectations. We know our pets are in the best of hands and that is comforting beyond words"

"Today we are the proud companions of a gorgeous Aussie mix, Hildy. She gives us unconditional love and boundless joy – but she was not always this way. In 2009, when we adopted her from a kill shelter, Hildy was a terrified creature who would not look at us or eat from our hand. She clearly was a dog who had known no love. We were at odds regarding what to do with her. After several trainers said she was a hopeless case, we decided that perhaps she needed daily care with professionals. We luckily chose the caregivers closest to our home, Dogwood Daycare! Within two weeks, Hildy was looking at us and taking food. She even wagged her tail a little! No words express our deep and ongoing gratitude to the Dogwood staff for making our treasured Hildy understand that humans, too, can love."
