Probably the best pet surgery center anywhere and we’re so lucky to have it so close. They have gone above and beyond in so many ways like submitting documents to insurance for me, being very responsible and available not to mention doing great work on the surgery itself.

Have Questions? We’re Here to Help!

Why should I choose SurgiPet for my pet’s surgery over a regular vet hospital?

There’s a difference in the level of care that you’ll get at SurgiPet. While general clinics may perform surgeries among other tasks, we focus on surgery only - with an experienced surgeon, a board-certified anesthesiologist, and the latest equipment and technology. You’ll also get clear, upfront pricing and dedicated post-operative support, available 7 days a week, including weekends.

Do you offer payments plans?

SurgiPet accepts the CareCredit credit card with special financing options* and payment plans through ScratchPay. We provide flat-fee all-inclusive transparent quotes for surgical procedures so that you are fully informed and able to make financial arrangements if necessary. [*Subject to credit approval]

Will my dog go home after same-day surgery still asleep or unable to walk?

No, your dog will not go home asleep or unable to walk. Our board-certified anesthesiologist carefully selects anesthesia medications that are not only safe, but also allow for a smooth and timely recovery.

Because surgery time is kept short and recovery is closely managed, dogs are fully awake and able to walk before going home. The only exception is if their specific injury prevents safe or comfortable walking - in those rare cases, we’ll guide you through next steps and provide full support.

If surgery is needed, can it happen the same day as the consult?

Yes! If our surgeon determines that surgery is needed, we can often perform it the same day. Your pet will come in for the consultation, have surgery, and go home the same day. Just let our staff know you’re interested in this option when booking your consultation.

Do I have to make an appointment?

Yes! All consultations and surgeries (including emergencies) are scheduled through our patient care team. You can call us at 760.290.8390, email info@surgipet.com, or fill out our contact form - whatever works best for you!

Can I get a quote for my pet’s surgery before making an appointment?

Yes! Give us a call or send an email to receive an accurate, all-inclusive flat-fee quote. If you have any medical records or X-rays, please email them to us this helps us provide the most accurate estimate.

Do you see exotic animals and birds?

While SurgiPet focuses exclusively on surgical care for dogs and cats, we understand how important expert care is for exotic pets. For birds, reptiles, small mammals, and other exotic species, we highly recommend Dr. Todd Cecil DVM, DABVP - a renowned specialist known for his exceptional skill and dedication to these unique animals. Call 619-462-4800 to make an appointment.
