Cat and Dog Surgery in El Dorado Hills, CA

Insight Veterinary Wellness Center provides a full array of life-saving cat and dog surgery options. We hope that you’ll entrust our veterinarian in El Dorado Hills with the care and well-being of your pet. We understand that undergoing surgery can bring on anxiety for pet parents. However, we only recommend surgery if and when your pet needs it to thrive.

Does My Pet Need Veterinary Surgery?

We only recommend surgery if no other options are available to treat your pet. We’ll make sure that you and your pet are prepared for the procedure well ahead of time. We want to make sure that you’re comfortable with the reasons for this surgery and the procedure itself.

How else can you make an informed decision regarding the health and welfare of your four-legged family members?

Surgical Protocols to Protect Your Pet

The vet will start with the presurgical assessment that includes a complete exam and confirmation of all the details of the upcoming procedure. Our team then performs tests to make sure that your pet can handle general anesthesia.

You’ll also find dedicated surgical suites designed for your pet’s anatomy. Our staff members keep the operating rooms sterile at all times to avoid cross-contamination. During any operation we perform, our staff wears surgical attire that includes disposable masks, caps, and gowns. We also use single-use gloves to avoid transferring germs and debris between patients. Additionally, sterile instrument packs are individually cleaned, sterilized and wrapped in preparation for each surgery.

At Insight Veterinary Wellness Center, we treat your pet like our own. That includes bumping your pet to the front of the list in the case of urgent surgical needs. We have ready access to testing equipment and an offsite lab and can handle most cat and dog surgery types.

Spay and Neuter Procedures

Overpopulation of stray cats and dogs has become an epidemic. In order to prevent needless suffering, it’s important to have your pet spayed or neutered. Did you know that pet sterilization also alleviates many health problems, including reproductive system diseases that run rampant through stray populations?

Foreign Body Removal

Active pets spend a lot of time running around on their paws. Between playing, rolling and exploring their world, they can easily get things lodged in their ears, eyes and mouths. Even indoor animals can catch infections from foreign bodies such as splinters that work their way into their paws and skin.
Fortunately, our veterinary surgeons can often safely remove foreign bodies your cat or dog has swallowed or gotten embedded into their body.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Just like people, your pet can develop tumors and masses internally or beneath the skin. Some of these lumps are cancerous while others are benign. We use state-of-the-art tools and techniques to conservatively remove soft tissue that poses a threat to your animal’s health.

Orthopedic Surgery

Dogs are even at greater risk than cats for certain orthopedic injuries. We perform several types of orthopedic surgery, including those to correct hip displacement, ACL tears and joint problems. With our skilled veterinarians on the case, you can feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care during cat and dog surgery.

Eye and Dental Surgery

From routine dental cleanings and extractions to treatment for eyelid masses and corneal ulcers, our veterinarian has you covered. If you suspect that your pet has cracked or broken teeth or a problem with their eyesight, schedule a consultation right away.
