At Wheaton Animal Hospital, we understand that having your pet undergo surgery can feel overwhelming, but you’re not in it alone. Whether your pet needs a routine spay or neuter or a more delicate procedure, we’re here to provide expert care and clear communication every step of the way. With decades of experience and a true passion for treating dogs, cats, and exotic pets, our team performs every surgery with precision, compassion, and your pet’s comfort at heart.
Spaying or neutering your pet not only helps reduce unplanned litters, but it can also lower their risk for certain health issues, like infections and reproductive cancers. These are safe, routine surgeries that support long-term wellness and community pet health.
If your pet has a lump or bump that needs further evaluation, we can surgically remove it and send it out for testing if needed. Whether benign or something more concerning, we’ll help you understand your options and next steps with transparency and compassion.
Accidents happene, specially with curious dogs, active cats, and adventurous exotics. If your pet has a cut, bite, or other soft-tissue injury, we offer prompt surgical repair to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection or long-term damage.
We use modern, individualized anesthesia protocols and continuous monitoring to minimize risk and keep your pet safe throughout the procedure. Pre-surgical testing helps us further reduce complications.
