When your pet needs surgery, it’s natural to feel nervous, but at Animal Care Centers, you’re never alone. Our veterinary team brings years of surgical experience and advanced training to every procedure. From routine neuters to complex orthopedic repairs and laser-assisted surgeries, we guide you through each step with care and clarity. Here, surgical care means more than technical expertise; it’s built on trust, compassion, and doing what’s best for your pet.
Animal Care Centers is known throughout the region for our expertise in treating Italian greyhounds. These graceful, sensitive dogs require a thoughtful approach, especially when facing orthopedic issues. Many local veterinarians refer their greyhound patients to us because of our extensive experience with their unique physiology and medical needs. From bone fractures to joint concerns, our surgical team understands how to deliver the careful, precise treatment Italian greyhounds need to recover safely and comfortably.
Spaying and neutering your pet helps prevent overpopulation and supports their long-term health. These common procedures can reduce the risk of certain cancers and help curb unwanted behaviors like roaming or marking.
At our Princeton location, we offer laser-assisted surgeries for a less invasive approach to traditional procedures. Laser surgery typically results in less bleeding, reduced pain and swelling, and quicker recovery times.
From joint issues and ligament injuries to mass removals and wound repairs, our team is experienced in a wide range of surgical procedures that help restore your pet’s health and mobility.
We’ll walk you through everything during your consultation, but most pets will need to fast the night before and come in early the day of surgery. Please let us know if your pet has had any recent changes in health or medications.
While there is always a risk with any anesthetic procedure, we take every precaution, starting with pre-anesthetic bloodwork and a physical exam. We use individualized protocols based on your pet’s breed, age, and health, and monitor them continuously throughout surgery.
Many procedures, like spays, neuters, and minor lump removals, allow for same-day discharge. If your pet needs extra monitoring, we’ll keep you informed and help with the next steps.
Recovery depends on your pet and the type of surgery. We’ll provide clear instructions, pain management, and follow-up support to help your pet heal comfortably and successfully.
We believe great veterinary care is built on partnership. From your first visit forward, you’ll find a team that empowers you with guidance and education, supports you through both routine care and unexpected moments, and works together to ensure every visit is as low-stress as possible. Whether you’re here for preventive care or same-day urgent needs, our goal is simple: to promote lifelong health, well-being, and peace of mind. That’s why we serve with the motto, “From wags to worries, we’ve got you covered!”
