Request your dog's surgery booking

Your dog's surgery is performed by an experienced general practice veterinary surgeon in our network rather than inside a corporate-owned referral or emergency hospital. Those hospitals carry heavy facility and staffing overhead, and it shows up on the invoice. Our surgeons carry far less, so prices run 30-40% lower while the safety protocol (bloodwork, continuous monitoring, nerve blocks, follow-up evaluation) stays the same.

Urgent cases such as a suspected obstruction, pyometra, or a bleeding spleen are booked same or next day. Planned procedures like mass removal or dental extractions are usually scheduled within two weeks. Because we coordinate several surgical calendars across northern New Castle County, we are not limited to one hospital's four-to-six week queue.

Yes. Many owners contact us after their general practice vet finds a problem but does not perform the surgery in-house. Send us whatever records, X-rays, or estimates you already have. We will review them, confirm whether surgery is the right step, and give you a price and a date. We are always happy to keep your regular vet informed.

A large share of the dogs we operate on from established Brandywine Hundred neighborhoods are seniors. Every one has comprehensive pre-anesthetic blood screening before a date is confirmed, so the anesthetic is built around real liver, kidney, and blood values. SpO2, ECG, blood pressure, and core temperature are then monitored continuously by a dedicated team member from induction to recovery.

Treat it as urgent if your dog is vomiting repeatedly, refusing food, straining, unusually quiet, or has a tender belly after swallowing an object. Corn cobs, socks, toys, string, and creek-bed stones are the most common culprits we see. Call us on (302) 599-0299. An obstruction caught early is usually a simpler, cheaper operation than one left for a few days.

Every surgery includes home-recovery medications, a written discharge checklist, access to a 24/7 post-op text line, and a complimentary healing evaluation at 10 to 14 days. If something looks wrong at 2am, you text the line rather than guessing.

Yes. We accept cash, credit card, and CareCredit, which lets you pay over monthly installments. If cost is a concern, mention it when you request a booking and we will walk through the options before you commit.

Yes. Our Premium Spay & Neuter packages include pre-anesthetic blood panels, continuous vital monitoring, multi-modal pain control, and cosmetic subcuticular closures with no external staples. Neuters start at $185 and spays at $245. Spaying also removes the risk of pyometra later in life.
