What is Veterinary Emergency Surgery?
Lifesaving Surgery When It Matters Most
Unfortunately, pet emergencies happen, and sometimes surgical intervention is required to save your cat or dog. In life-threatening situations such as trauma (hit by car, fall, attacked by another animal), foreign body obstruction, or gastric dilatation-volvulus (bloat) surgery can mean the difference between life and death. Our highly trained board-certified veterinary surgeons are at the ready when surgery is required.

Any advanced emergency surgery for dogs or cats should be performed by a board-certified veterinary surgeon. Learn more about our team’s credentials, expertise, and commitment to excellence.
Our Pet Emergency Process
How We Help During Emergencies
We can accommodate surgical emergencies outside of normal business hours by referral from a primary care veterinary or emergency clinic. Your pet is a beloved member of your family, and we know that emergencies can be confusing and overwhelming. From diagnosis to around-the-clock care, our compassionate and highly trained team will inform you of all your options and remain in close touch with your family veterinarian. The VSS team is committed to providing you and your pet with the highest level of service.
Each pet family receives a personalized plan for their pet’s procedure, pain management, recovery, rehabilitation, medications, and follow-up care. Providing the best possible quality of life is always our goal.
