Pet Soft Tissue Surgery & Orthopedic Surgery

Parkdale Animal Hospital helps restore your pet’s comfort and mobility with expert soft tissue and orthopedic surgery in Kitchener-Waterloo, ON.

Comprehensive Pet Soft Tissue Surgery Services

When your pet needs surgery, you want a team you can trust to deliver expert care. At Parkdale Animal Hospital, our highly experienced veterinary team offers a wide range of soft tissue surgeries, such as tumour removals, bladder stone removals, gastrointestinal procedures, wound repair, and spay/neuter surgeries. Each procedure is tailored to your pet’s unique needs, with safety, comfort, and recovery as our top priorities.

During surgery, all patients are carefully monitored under anesthesia by a registered veterinary technician (RVT). Anesthesia is one of the most critical aspects of any procedure, which is why we pair updated monitoring technology with the skilled attention of our RVTs. This combination allows us to detect and address even small issues before they become bigger concerns, ensuring your pet’s well-being at every stage.

And of course, when it comes to surgery, even teddy bears are in good hands—under the watchful eyes of their owners, of course! If we can fix a bear’s boo-boo, you can rest assured your pet is receiving the very best care possible.

Orthopedic Surgeries with a Traveling Specialist

Orthopedic surgery—such as cruciate ligament repairs, fracture repairs, and patellar luxation surgeries—requires advanced expertise. At Parkdale Animal Hospital, our in-house veterinarians do not perform orthopedic surgeries themselves. Instead, we partner with a traveling orthopedic surgeon who comes to our hospital to perform these specialized procedures.

Because these surgeries are dependent on the surgeon’s availability, they are not performed daily. The specialist provides us with available dates, and we coordinate directly with pet owners to schedule their pets’ procedures. This way, your pet still benefits from advanced surgical expertise, but in the comfort and familiarity of our hospital.
