Surgical Interventions

At Greater Saint John Veterinary Care, we provide routine and elective surgical services for dogs and cats as part of comprehensive general practice care. Our surgical approach focuses on patient safety, effective pain management, and clear communication before, during, and after every procedure.

All surgical recommendations are made thoughtfully, with your pet’s health, comfort, and recovery as our top priorities.

Spay & Neuter Procedures

Spay and neuter surgeries are an important part of preventative care for many pets. We offer spay and neuter procedures, including cryptorchid neuters, with a focus on patient comfort, safety, and recovery. Your veterinarian will discuss appropriate timing, pre-surgical preparation, and post-operative care in detail.

Mass & Soft Tissue Removal

We perform surgical removal of masses and soft tissue growths, including:

• Skin masses
• Lipomas
• Cysts

Mass removals may be recommended for diagnostic, preventative, or comfort-related reasons. When appropriate, the removed tissue can be submitted for laboratory evaluation to guide further care.

Hernia Repair & Prophylactic Gastropexy

Our surgical services also include umbilical hernia repairs and preventative procedure such as prophylactic gastropexy, when recommended. These procedures are discussed carefully to ensure they align with your pet’s health needs and lifestyle.
