Expert Surgical Services for Dogs and Cats in Phoenixville | Valley Veterinary Hospital

Surgical procedures can be a stressful experience—for both pets and their people. Whether it’s a planned spay or neuter or a more advanced orthopedic operation, knowing your pet is in skilled, compassionate hands makes all the difference.

In Phoenixville and surrounding communities like Spring City, King of Prussia, and Malvern, families have relied on Valley Veterinary Hospital for decades. Surgical care here blends advanced medical technology with the kind of warmth and familiarity that only a long-standing, family-owned practice can provide.

Our surgical team has one goal: to give your pet the safest, most comfortable surgical experience possible. Every case receives personalized attention, from pre-op evaluation to post-op recovery.

Our Full Range of Veterinary Surgical Services

Surgical care is more than just performing a procedure—it’s about understanding your pet’s unique health needs and providing thoughtful, skilled treatment every step of the way. At Valley Veterinary Hospital, our team offers a wide range of surgical options for dogs and cats, using modern tools and trusted techniques to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort.

Spay and Neuter Surgery

Spaying and neutering are among the most common surgeries we perform, but their benefits go far beyond population control. These procedures:

Prevent unwanted litters

Reduce the risk of certain cancers and infections (like pyometra or testicular cancer)

Help manage behavioral issues such as marking or aggression

Can be safely performed as early as 5 to 6 months old, depending on the pet

Your pet’s spay or neuter surgery is done under general anesthesia, with full monitoring and pain control from start to finish.

Soft Tissue Surgeries

These procedures involve the skin, muscles, and internal organs and are often necessary for both routine and emergency care. We provide:

Mass and tumor removal: For both benign and malignant growths, often sent for biopsy

Bladder stone removal (cystotomy): Restores urinary comfort and function

Laceration and wound repair: Prompt attention to traumatic injuries

Gastrointestinal surgeries: Removal of foreign objects or treatment for obstructions

Ear and eye procedures: Including entropion correction and hematoma repairne response

Each surgery is followed by a recovery plan to promote healing and minimize discomfort.

Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic procedures focus on bones, joints, and ligaments. Whether your dog has torn a cruciate ligament or your cat has suffered a fracture, our team offers:

Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL/ACL) repair

Fracture repair using bone plates, pins, or external fixation

Luxating patella correction to realign kneecaps and improve mobility

Joint surgery for chronic dislocation or arthritis management

We’ll walk you through the recovery process, which often includes restricted movement, follow-up radiographs, and sometimes physical therapy.

Emergency Surgical Services

When time matters most, our team is ready to provide urgent surgical care for life-threatening conditions such as:

Intestinal blockages

Gastric dilatation-volvulus

Uterine infections (pyometra)

Internal bleeding or trauma

Severe wound treatment or abscess drainagese

Emergency surgeries are supported by in-house diagnostics, allowing for rapid bloodwork, imaging, and treatment decisions.

Diagnostic Support for Surgical Cases

Accurate diagnosis leads to better surgical outcomes. We support all surgeries with comprehensive diagnostics:

Pre-surgical blood panels

Digital radiographs (X-rays)

Ultrasound evaluations

Electrocardiograms (ECG)

Histopathology (lab analysis of removed tissue)

Our ability to assess and monitor conditions in-house means your pet receives faster, more efficient care.

Anesthesia and Monitoring: A Safer Way to Operate

Anesthesia safety matters—especially for older pets or those with health concerns. That’s why we use only the safest anesthetics available and tailor the protocol to each patient’s age, size, and medical history.

During surgery, your pet’s vital signs are closely monitored by our trained technicians and advanced equipment, tracking heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature. All readings are carefully documented and evaluated in real time, helping our surgical team respond quickly to any changes.

It’s about precision and peace of mind—for you and your pet.

Post-Surgical Recovery and Pain Management

Recovery doesn’t end once the surgery is complete. Our team creates individualized pain management and recovery plans to help your pet heal comfortably. This may include:

Injectable and oral pain medications

Anti-inflammatory therapy

Activity restriction guidance

Incision care instructions

We’re here to answer any questions you may have during the recovery process—because no one should feel like they’re doing this alone.
