Pet Surgery in Phoenix, AZ

If you are preparing for animal surgery in Phoenix, it helps to know what to ask:

• Who will be performing the surgery? (Dr. Casida brings years of surgical experience, along with a certification in canine physical rehabilitation.)
• What safety protocols will be in place?
• How will after-care be handled?
• What payment options are available? (We offer flexible financing through Cherry to make veterinary surgery more accessible.)

To make sure your pet’s procedure goes smoothly, preparation is important. Common steps include:

• Following fasting guidelines provided by our team.
• Asking if medications should be continued or adjusted.
• Bringing a secure carrier or leash and a favorite blanket or toy for comfort.
• Arriving early for pre-surgical check-in and paperwork.

Pet parents often ask, “What safety measures are used during my pet’s surgery?” Our answer is simple: your pet’s safety is our priority. We use modern anesthesia monitoring, maintain sterile conditions, and provide individualized attention throughout every procedure. Our skilled team is trained to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and closely observed at every stage.

Recovery can vary depending on the type of procedure. Minor repairs may heal in just a few weeks, while more complex orthopedic surgeries may require several months of restricted activity and guided rehabilitation.

Our team gives you detailed instructions and is available to answer any questions. Typical after-care includes:

• Pain management with safe medications.
• Careful monitoring of the incision site.
• Limiting activity while your pet heals.
• Scheduling follow-up visits to check progress.
