Expert Pet Surgery in Vancouver

At Beach Avenue Animal Hospital, we provide a wide range of surgical services for pets, including routine and advanced procedures for dogs and cats. Our experienced veterinarians perform everything from common surgeries like spaying and neutering to more complex soft tissue procedures, all with a focus on safety, precision, and compassionate care.

Most routine surgeries can be scheduled with a simple morning drop-off and evening pick-up, making it convenient for busy pet parents. To ensure the safest results under anesthesia, we ask that you fast your pet the night before surgery—no food after 8 PM, and no water after 7 AM on the morning of the procedure.

With a dedicated team, modern equipment, and a commitment to gentle recovery care, we’re here to make sure your pet receives the best possible treatment when surgery is needed.

Pet Surgery Services in Vancouver | Beach Avenue Animal Hospital

What to Expect from Pet Surgery

When your pet needs surgery, it can feel stressful and overwhelming. At Beach Avenue Animal Hospital, we make sure every appointment with our doctors is thorough and transparent. We take time to explain why surgery is recommended, what the procedure involves, and how it will help your pet. Our goal is for you to feel informed and confident before moving forward.

During surgery, your pet is cared for by a dedicated veterinary technician who administers anesthesia and continuously monitors vital signs. After the procedure, we provide effective pain management and clear instructions for at-home care to ensure a smooth recovery.

Types of Pet Surgical Services

Our team offers a range of dog and cat surgeries in Vancouver, from routine to advanced:

  • Routine Procedures – Spaying and neutering, dental cleanings, lump removals, and minor soft tissue surgeries.

  • Specialized Procedures – Orthopedic surgery, ophthalmology, cardiology, oncology, and emergency surgeries.

Choosing the Right Surgical Facility for Your Pet

Finding the best care for your furry friend involves careful consideration:

  • General Practice vs. Specialty Clinics – Routine surgeries can be performed at a trusted veterinary hospital like ours, while complex cases may require referral to a specialty clinic.

  • Veterinarian Experience – Always look for qualified surgeons with experience in your pet’s specific condition.

  • Advanced Equipment – Ensure the clinic is equipped with modern technology for safe and precise surgeries.

  • Transparent Costs – Ask about fees for anesthesia, pain management, and possible complications upfront.

  • Comprehensive Care – Pre-surgical testing and attentive post-operative recovery support are essential.

Important Considerations for Your Pet

Every pet is unique, and certain factors should guide surgical planning:

  • Pre-Existing Conditions – Share your pet’s full health history to ensure safe anesthesia and care.

  • Age and Breed – These can influence surgical risk and recovery time.

  • Pain Management – Discuss options to keep your pet comfortable after surgery.

Key Points to Remember:

  • Communication is Key – Stay in touch with your veterinarian, ask questions, and share concerns.

  • Second Opinions – For complex cases, getting another perspective can provide reassurance.

  • Trust Your Instincts – Choose a veterinary team that makes you feel comfortable and supported.

Spaying

At Beach Avenue Animal Hospital in Vancouver, we provide safe, professional, and affordable spaying services for dogs and cats. Our experienced veterinary team ensures compassionate care and modern surgical protocols, helping pets live healthier, happier lives while supporting responsible pet ownership.

There are many health and behavioral benefits when it comes to spaying your pet. This procedure prevents female dogs and cats from becoming pregnant, helps reduce health risks, and supports a longer, healthier life. Spaying does not change your pet’s loving personality.

You may be wondering how spaying your pet can improve her longevity.
Removing the uterus and ovaries protects female pets from mammary cancer, uterine infections (pyometra), and other serious reproductive diseases. It also prevents complications related to repeated heat cycles.

Beyond health benefits, spaying is important for the community. By preventing unwanted litters, this procedure helps reduce the dog and cat overpopulation problem, keeping more animals out of Vancouver shelters and rescues.

Spaying is a routine surgical procedure performed under anesthesia. Our experienced veterinary team follows strict safety protocols and continually monitors your pet’s vital signs throughout the process to ensure comfort and safety.

If you are considering spaying your dog or cat, call or visit Beach Avenue Animal Hospital today to schedule an appointment and learn more about our professional
spay and neuter services in Vancouver.

FAQs: Pet Surgery in Vancouver (Dogs & Cats)

Follow the exact instructions we give you at booking. In general, most healthy adult pets should have no food overnight before a morning procedure, while water is often allowed until early morning. Pediatric patients and some medical cases follow different, shorter fasting plans—your vet will individualize this for safety.

Anesthesia always carries some risk, but we reduce it with a pre-surgical exam (and bloodwork when indicated), tailored drug choices, and continuous monitoring by a dedicated veterinary professional throughout the procedure and recovery. Our approach follows modern guidelines for dogs and cats to help keep anesthesia as safe as possible.

We use multimodal pain control (e.g., local blocks, opioids when appropriate, and anti-inflammatories as indicated) before, during, and after surgery. This layered approach is recommended by current pain-management guidelines to improve comfort and recovery.

We routinely perform spay/neuter, mass (lump) removals, foreign-body removals, and other soft-tissue procedures for dogs and cats in Vancouver. When a case would benefit from advanced specialty care (for example, complex orthopedic or ophthalmic surgery), we coordinate a referral to a board-certified surgeon and stay involved in your pet’s care plan. (Clinic policy/standard of care statement.)

Mild sleepiness, a small appetite, and a quiet night are common. Offer small amounts of water, then a light meal a bit later unless we advise otherwise. Keep your pet warm, quiet, and confined. Call us immediately if you see repeated vomiting, severe pain, bleeding, or trouble breathing.

Keep the incision clean and dry (no bathing/swimming), prevent licking/chewing with an E-collar (cone), and restrict activity—usually 7–14 days depending on the surgery. We’ll advise the exact timeline for your pet at discharge.

Most skin sutures are removed around 10–14 days. A small amount of pinkness and mild swelling can be normal early on; redness, heat, discharge, bad odor, or gaps in the incision are not—contact us if you notice these.

Timing depends on your pet’s species, breed, size, and health, as well as your goals (e.g., behavior, heat cycles). Early spay/neuter (6–16 weeks) is supported in shelter settings under specific protocols; for owned pets, we’ll recommend an individualized plan (often around adolescence) after discussing benefits and risks with you.

Often yes—with extra planning. For example, diabetic pets may need adjusted insulin and close glucose monitoring during anesthesia; heart or airway conditions may require different drugs and monitoring. We’ll design a case-specific protocol to reduce risk.

Costs vary by procedure type, size of pet, diagnostics, anesthesia time, medications, and after-care. We provide a clear written estimate and explain what’s included (e.g., exams, anesthesia, monitoring, pain control, rechecks). If a case requires specialty referral, we’ll outline expected next steps and coordinate care. (Clinic transparency statement.)
