Does your pet’s upcoming surgery have you feeling anxious?
Bringing a family member in for a surgical procedure is never easy. At Victoria Road Animal Hospital, we know exactly how you’re feeling because we’re pet parents too. Rest assured that we’ll do whatever it takes to ensure as stress-free an experience as possible.
Pre-Surgical Care
The surgical care at Victoria Road Animal Hospital begins with preoperative screening, which helps reduce the risk of complications for your pet. We’ll also develop a safe, effective plan to keep your pet comfortable and pain-free – before, during and following surgery.
Surgery
Whether routine or complex, your pet’s procedure will be our highest priority. From the moment you arrive on the morning of surgery, we’ll be there to ease your mind and help keep your pet calm and relaxed.
Once safely sedated, our team will complete the procedure as efficiently as possible. As the doctor works, our dedicated support staff will be present at all times, assisting with surgery and closely monitoring your pet’s wellbeing.
After Care
When surgery is complete, your pet will be gently moved to our recovery area, where our staff will offer comfort and reassurance.
Once you arrive to pick up your pet, we will discuss our aftercare instructions, including a plan for pain management.
Surgery doesn’t have to be a source of anxiety, especially if you’ve got the experienced, compassionate team at Victoria Road Animal Hospital in your corner. Contact us today and let’s discuss how we can help with all of your companion’s surgical care needs.

My partner and I have had great experiences at Victoria Road Animal Hospital after switching from a different vet clinic that we felt didn't care as much for our kitties. At each visit that we have had at Victoria Road AH, they have gone above and beyond to make us feel like they care about our cats. Recently, one of our cats had stopped eating for multiple days. At the appointment, the Dr took the time and effort to explain our treatment options and, later, explained the results of the bloodwork that was run. They always listen to our concerns and it has never felt like the appointments are rushed, even standard appts like annual vaccines. The front end staff are also very welcoming and friendly. Thank you for all the work you do! :)Andrea B2024-01-31Best vetinarians everRobert Fagundes2023-11-27Very caring vet clinic, from the reception to the vet, everyone is so kind and really seems to care about your pets well being. Thank you for the emergency care you provided Stevie this past week.Krista Carrigan2023-11-05Good and friendly service.Przemysław Pawluk2023-10-26I feel very grateful to be a client of VRAH and would give them 6/5 starts if I could. The entire staff are absolutely phenomenal and clearly love and care for each of their patients as their own. As the guardian of a very difficult fear reactive dog, it means a lot that this team sees him for the great dog he is, despite his challenges, and they are always willing to meet him where he is at. Drs Harris, Melillo, and Buchanan have all been extremely supportive and patient with our boy, and have always gracefully allowed us to cut appointments short if he is too overwhelmed. The RVTs and vet assistant/client care staff are beyond exceptional as well, they treat even the smallest concerns with great care. The VRAH team are so communicative and ensure that you always understand what and why they recommend for your pet and always provide owners with all of the appropriate options. Normally I am not in the room for procedures, however today I was present and want to specifically express my appreciation for Dr Buchanan, RVT Emma, and Anna for their wonderfully compassionate, expert work with Whiskey today, and their thoughtful advice and help with Rye. Truly a top class hospital that I feel very safe entrusting my four-legged family member’s health with.Lori Ogilvie2023-06-16Dr Harris is super helpful and explains everything very well. We go for both our 17 year old dog and 4 year old dog.Amanda Scapinello2023-04-12
