Safe. Compassionate. Trusted.
At Grand Oaks Pet Hospital, we are proud to offer a wide range of surgical services — from routine procedures like spaying and neutering to more complex soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries. Whether your pet needs a simple fix or life-saving intervention, our highly trained team is here to provide skilled, compassionate care.
Surgery can be a source of stress for pet parents. You may wonder:
Will my pet be safe under anesthesia?
How painful will the recovery be?
How do I care for them once they’re home?
Let us put your mind at ease. Every step of the way, we are here to ensure both you and your pet feel supported and informed.
What to Expect on Surgery Day
Whether your pet is having a routine spay/neuter or a more advanced procedure, you can feel confident knowing your companion is in capable hands.
Pre-Surgical Assessment
Before the procedure, your pet will receive:
A comprehensive physical exam
Pre-anesthetic bloodwork to evaluate organ function and ensure they are healthy enough for anesthesia
We will also take the time to answer any questions you may have about the procedure, anesthesia, or recovery.
Safe, Monitored Anesthesia
Many pet owners are terrified by the thought of their pet undergoing anesthesia. In some cases, this fear and uncertainty can prevent pets from receiving the medical care they need and deserve. Rest assured that your pet will receive safe, comprehensive, advanced anesthesia care from our staff of caring professionals. From major and minor surgeries to diagnostic procedures, we can meet your pet’s anesthetic needs.
There is nothing more important to us than your pet’s safety, so we perform a variety of pre-anesthetic tests to carefully screen patients and tailor our anesthetic protocol specifically for your pet. Our trained staff and doctors monitor your pet before, during, and after anesthesia to help ensure the best possible outcome. We also take time to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have about the medications, monitoring, and care your pet will receive. When you trust our dedicated health care professionals to manage your pet’s anesthetic care, you can rest assured that safety, efficacy, and comfort are always foremost in our minds.
While under anesthesia, your pet is continuously monitored by a veterinary technician using advanced monitoring equipment, including:
ECG (heart rate & rhythm)
Pulse oximeter (oxygen saturation)
Capnograph (respiration and CO₂ levels)
Blood pressure monitor
IV catheter (for fluids and emergency access)
Heated blanket (to maintain body temperature)
This ensures your pet’s safety before, during, and after surgery. We take every precaution to reduce risk and maximize comfort.
After Surgery: Recovery & Support
Once your pet is safely waking up in recovery, we continue to monitor them closely. Most pets go home the same day.
Before discharge, we will:
Review postoperative care instructions
Go over any medications needed for pain, inflammation, or infection
Answer all your questions to help your pet recover smoothly at home
If anything comes up after you leave — no matter how small — we’re just a phone call away.

Spaying or neutering is one of the best decisions you can make for your pet’s long-term health and happiness. Here’s why:
The cost of spaying or neutering is far less than:
Spaying and neutering reduces stray populations, preventing suffering and protecting wildlife, children, and neighborhoods. Every surgery helps fight pet overpopulation—millions of unwanted cats and dogs are euthanized each year simply because there aren’t enough homes.
Spaying or neutering means a longer, healthier life for your pet—and peace of mind for you.
