Surgical Procedures
Safe. Skilled. Compassionate.
When your pet needs surgery, you want one thing above all: excellent care from a team you trust. At VIPets Franklin Animal Clinic, we combine modern surgical techniques, advanced equipment, and deep compassion to support both pet and owner every step of the way.
Whether your pet is having a routine spay, a dental extraction, or a complex soft-tissue procedure, our goal is the same: safety, comfort, and a smooth recovery.
Our Surgical Services
We offer a spectrum of surgical care suited for dogs, cats, and other small pets. Each procedure is carried out with rigorous standards of hygiene, monitoring, and post-operative care.
- Spay & Neuter
Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) aren’t just population control—they protect against certain cancers and reproductive diseases. We use modern techniques to minimize pain and speed recovery. - Soft Tissue Surgery
Soft tissue surgeries cover a wide range of conditions: tumor removals, wound repair, mass excision, hernia repairs, and more. Our team assesses each case individually to determine the safest, most effective surgical plan. - Dental Surgery
Oral health is vital to overall wellness. Our veterinary dental surgeries handle tooth extractions, advanced cleaning, and treatment of periodontal disease—always under careful anesthesia and monitoring.
What You Can Expect With Us
Every pet surgery at VIPets Franklin follows a clear, compassionate process to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind:
- Pre-Surgical Consultation & Assessment
Before any procedure, we perform a thorough exam and may recommend diagnostic testing such as bloodwork or imaging. This helps us tailor anesthesia and surgical planning to your pet’s unique needs. You’ll also receive clear instructions, cost estimates, and answers to your questions. - Anesthesia & Monitoring
Your pet’s safety is our top priority. We use modern anesthesia protocols designed specifically for dogs and cats, along with continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels throughout the procedure. - The Surgery
Our veterinarians perform each procedure with precision, sterile technique, and gentle handling. Whether it’s a routine spay/neuter, dental surgery, or soft tissue operation, we focus on minimizing risk and promoting smooth recovery. - Post-Operative Recovery & Pain Management
Once surgery is complete, your pet is closely monitored in a calm recovery space. We use advanced pain management to keep them comfortable and provide detailed at-home care instructions for you. - Aftercare & Follow-Up
Healing doesn’t stop when you leave the clinic. We schedule follow-up visits as needed, guide you through activity restrictions and wound care, and remain available to answer any questions during recovery.
