Pet Surgery
Wayne’s Preferred Pet Health Provider
Tri-County Animal Hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art surgical suites and highly trained dog cat surgeons who perform a variety of veterinary surgical procedures for pets. Our modern surgical suite is equipped with the latest patient monitoring equipment to ensure the health and safety of your pet.
Prior to your pet’s surgery, our veterinarians will perform thorough examination and conduct a pre-anesthetic blood test to evaluate the function of the internal organs. After examination, anesthetic drugs are individually selected for your pet based on the procedure, their age, breed, and health, and lifestyle.

Our Surgical Process
At Tri-County Animal Hospital, we perform a wide range of soft tissue and dental surgeries by scheduled appointment, allowing our team to carefully prepare for your pet’s procedure and provide the highest level of care from start to finish. Every surgical patient receives a comprehensive pre-operative examination by one of our veterinarians, along with any recommended diagnostic testing, to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and surgery.
For pets requiring orthopedic procedures or other advanced surgical services, we take a collaborative approach with our travelling board-certified surgeon:
- Your pet will first be evaluated by one of our experienced staff veterinarians, who will perform a thorough examination, review any diagnostic imaging, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your pet.
- If specialized surgery is recommended, we then contact and coordinate with our highly skilled board-certified visiting surgeon to perform these procedures at Tri-County Animal Hospital.
- Once your pet has been evaluated, we’ll schedule the surgical appointment when the specialist is available, allowing your pet to receive advanced surgical care in the familiar, comfortable environment of our hospital.
This approach combines the personalized attention of your trusted Tri-County veterinary team with the expertise of a surgical specialist, ensuring seamless communication, continuity of care, and exceptional outcomes before, during, and after your pet’s procedure.
