All veterinarians are able to perform surgery as part of their veterinary practice. However, difficult cases may be best managed by a specialist. Board-certified surgeons work closely with the owner and the primary veterinarian before and after surgery in a team approach to ensure continuity of care for your pet.

In addition to having advanced surgical training, our surgeons also have highly qualified technologists and support staff with advanced knowledge, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and equipment that may not be available to your primary veterinarian.

Following surgery and any postoperative follow-up care, the primary veterinarian resumes ongoing care of the pet.

VCA Canada Guardian’s veterinary surgeons are dedicated to providing the very best in surgical care. They also act as a resource for your primary veterinarian by providing consultations on difficult or unusual cases. We are always striving to ensure the best possible outcome for you and your pet.
