Safe, effective, trusted surgical care.

Prior to surgery, your pet will need an updated physical examination to ensure they are healthy enough for anesthesia. Depending on your pet’s age and condition, additional pre-surgical testing such as blood work or X-rays may be recommended.

Horeb Animal Hospital, we prioritize patient safety and provide skilled surgical services and compassionate nursing for routine procedures including but not limited to:

Pain Control That love includes anticipating and preventing surgical pain or discomfort. Pain isn’t merely unpleasant, but can cause delayed healing, inflammation, self-injury, behavior problems, and chronic issues. The veterinarians at Mt. Horeb Animal Hospital continually assess your pet’s condition and prevent pain whenever possible with injectable analgesic medications, local anesthetic nerve blocks, and pain medication to give at home.  Our individualized approach to surgery ensures each pet is treated like the one-of-a-kind companion they are—from customized anesthetic drug protocols to suit their health needs, to hands-on monitoring to learn their personal normals, to delicate surgical techniques to minimize tissue trauma and speed healing, to attentive pre-, peri-, and postoperative nursing care, we treat each pet like our own—because we love them like our own. Individualized Approach

Spay & Neuter

The decision to spay or neuter your pet is one of the most beneficial preventive care decisions you can make to improve their quality of life. At Mt. Horeb Animal Hospital, we recommend having your pet spayed or neutered between 4 and 6 months of age. However, we recognize that there are varying schools of thought on the best age to spay and neuter your pet, and we would be happy to discuss your preferences or concerns at any time, to help you determine what is best for your pet.

Spaying and neutering reduces pet overpopulation by preventing unwanted litters, lowers your pet’s risk for certain cancers, eliminates reproductive emergencies, and may improve hormone-related behavior. Although these surgeries are often performed on puppies and kittens, they can be performed at any age to benefit the pet’s health and safety.
