Laser Surgery: A Gentler Option for Pets
Our doctors have over 15 years of experience in laser surgery, a technique that replaces the scalpel with a surgical laser for greater precision and comfort. Laser surgery offers numerous benefits for dogs and cats, including:
- Less pain (seals nerve endings)
- Reduced bleeding (seals blood vessels)
- Lower risk of infection and inflammation
- Quicker healing and recovery
Laser surgery is often ideal for delicate procedures and for pets who might struggle with a traditional surgical approach. If you’re curious whether your pet is a candidate, just give us a call!


Your Pet’s Safety Comes First—Always
Surgery can be stressful, and we completely understand. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure every procedure is as safe and smooth as possible. Our protocols include:
- Pre-surgical exams and bloodwork to assess your pet’s overall health
- Customized anesthesia and medication dosages tailored to your pet’s weight and condition
- IV catheterization to deliver fluids and medications during surgery
- Continuous monitoring by an experienced technician throughout the procedure
- Heated surgical tables and blankets to maintain body temperature
- Post-operative laser therapy to ease pain and reduce swelling
- Temperature- and oxygen-controlled recovery chambers for a smooth wake-up
We’re especially experienced with brachycephalic breeds (like bulldogs, pugs, and Persians), which require extra surgical precautions. You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable hands with our team.
