When your pet needs surgery you want to turn to someone who you can trust. At Pound Ridge Veterinary Center, you can count on our medical team to help put your mind at ease by thoroughly explaining the procedure, the risks, the benefits, and anticipated recovery period.
General & Advanced Surgery
Our team of veterinary professionals is highly experienced to perform a variety of general surgical procedures. We pledge to provide the best possible surgical and anesthetic care for your pet. We best express our love for animals by providing our patients with the physical comfort and security they deserve. Rely on us to honor the bond between you and your pets. We want what you want: to return pets to an active life with you, in the safety and comfort of home.
Pain management is a top priority. From pre-surgical preparation to recovery, your pet’s pain levels and vitals will be rigorously monitored. The anesthetics used are specifically tailored to the needs of your pet and the type of procedure. After your pet’s surgery, we’ll devise a comprehensive pain-management plan to help your pet recover as comfortably as possible.
In cases of complex or specialized surgery, we may recommend a specialty referral hospital. Whether we perform the surgery personally or refer it, we always work toward ensuring the best outcome for your pet. Patients are generally able to go home the same day to recover in the comfort of their own home.

Spay/Neuter Procedure
At Pound Ridge Veterinary Center, the spay/neuter procedure is a key component of wellness care. Let us help you be a conscientious caretaker to your canine or feline companion by providing key information on the procedure itself, and the health and behavioral benefits it provides.
- Spaying is a complete ovariohysterectomy of female dogs or cats, or the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus.
- Neutering is the surgical removal of both testicles in male dogs and cats. Do not fret – it sounds scarier than it is. Your dog won’t miss them!
Spaying and neutering can help prevent things like the urge to roam, aggressive behaviors, messy heat cycles or urine marking, gender-specific cancers, unwanted litters, and more. Talk to your veterinarian to learn more about this procedure and if it is the right choice for you and your pet.
