Expert Surgery for Cats & Dogs in Annapolis, MD

At our animal hospital in Annapolis, we know that surgery—whether routine or complex—can be stressful for pets and their people. That’s why our team provides compassionate, high-quality surgical care designed to keep your cat or dog safe, comfortable, and on the path to recovery. Led by veterinarians with specialized expertise and supported by our Fear Free Certified staff, we perform a range of procedures in a controlled, low-stress environment.

Trustworthy Anesthetic & Surgical Care for Pets

Before surgery, every pet receives a thorough preoperative exam and testing to ensure they’re a good candidate for anesthesia. On the day of surgery, one of our registered veterinary technicians reviews your pet’s procedure, obtains consent, and answers all your questions.
 
During surgery, we continuously monitor vital signs using ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, carbon dioxide levels, and temperature, ensuring your pet remains stable throughout the procedure. Pain management is a top priority, with medications administered before, during, and after surgery to keep your pet comfortable. Post-operative follow-up calls are made within 24–72 hours to check on your pet’s recovery and answer any new questions.
