When your pet needs surgery, you deserve a team that blends medical expertise with genuine compassion. At Beltsville Veterinary Hospital, we provide thoughtful, individualized care for every cat and dog who walks through our doors. From learning your pet needs surgery to a full return to good health, we make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. If you’re looking for trusted pet surgery in Beltsville or nearby communities, we’re here to help.
Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the most important steps you can take for their long-term health. These procedures help prevent certain cancers and hormone-related behaviors, offering health and behavioral benefits that last a lifetime.
From removing masses and bladder stones to correcting eyelid issues or performing abdominal exploratories, our Beltsville veterinary team provides expert soft tissue surgery with steady hands and compassionate care.
Dental disease can be painful and lead to more serious health issues if left untreated. If your cat or dog needs one or more teeth removed, we’ll make sure the procedure is handled gently and your pet stays as comfortable as possible before, during, and after.
We’ll go over all the details ahead of time, but in most cases, your pet should fast after midnight before surgery. Be sure to arrive on time and bring any medications or updates on their health.
Not at this time. If your pet needs a procedure beyond what we offer, we’ll connect you with a trusted local surgeon and coordinate with them to ensure seamless care before and after the procedure.
All anesthetic and surgical procedures carry some risk, but we create a customized anesthesia plan for every patient and closely monitor them throughout their surgery to minimize issues.
Most cats and dogs go home the same day for routine procedures. If your pet needs to stay longer, we’ll keep you updated and arrange a visit if appropriate.
Recovery depends on the procedure. Routine surgeries like spays and neuters typically require a week or two of restricted activity, while more involved surgeries may take longer. We’ll make sure you know exactly what to expect.
