Surgery & Dentistry

Safe Surgical and Dental Care

When your pet is scheduled for surgery or a dental cleaning—both of which require the use of general anesthesia—we will take every precaution to protect your pet’s health and safety. We will conduct a pre-anesthesia physical exam and perform diagnostics to be able to plan our anesthesia carefully.

If Your Pet Needs Surgery

We will handle your pet with compassion and do all we can to keep your pet comfortable and safe before, during, and after his or her surgery.

Procedures we commonly perform include:

Spays and neuters
Mass removals
Dental surgery
Splenectomies
Biopsies
Bladder stone removal
Emergency, exploratory surgeries

Complex and Orthopedic Surgeries

If your pet’s condition requires a complex procedure, we may call in a board-certified specialist to perform the surgery at our clinic or, we may refer you to a nearby specialty clinic.

Dental Cleanings

Routine oral hygiene not only improves your pet’s smile and breath, it’s also an important aspect of preventive care. Your doctor will do a quick check of your pet’s mouth at every wellness visit, but we also recommend thorough dental cleanings under general anesthesia. Using general anesthesia enables us to perform a comprehensive cleaning, remove plaque, examine beneath the gum lines, and capture clear digital x-rays. And if we spot trouble, we can also perform minor procedures, such as tooth extractions.

We know that any procedure requiring general anesthesia can be stressful for you and your pet. We welcome any questions you might have. Please call us anytime to discuss your pet’s needs.

Weâ€™ve been taking our various cats to Allandale for about 25 years now, and have always received thoughtful and attentive care. They are professional, caring, and supportive. They have helped with many serious illnesses and, when it was time, crossings over the rainbow bridge. They have helped our kitties lead proactive, healthy lives. Highly recommended.”

I don't think I could've found a better clinic for my fearful, untrusting dog. They are WONDERFUL with him, as he came to me with some issues. They are so patient and are able to get everything done that needs to be done with him. They always go over what he needs or doesn't necessarily need to be done at that time, and explains the costs beforehand. I couldn't be more pleased with everybody at this clinic!!”
