Do I have to see a surgical clinic to schedule surgery?

Depends on the procedure — soft-tissue is wider, orthopaedic / specialist surgery is narrower.

What prep does my pet need before surgery?

Confirm with the clinic — usually fasting, sometimes pre-op bloodwork.

Will my pet need to stay overnight?

Depends on the procedure and recovery — the vet will confirm.

I'm not sure surgery is needed — what should I do?

Book a consult first. Most surgical clinics offer pre-op assessments without committing to surgery.

Page summary

How to use this list

Narrow down by what actually matters for a Surgery visit: does the clinic have the equipment you expect, do they take appointments, and is it close enough to get to on a bad day. Filter for "reachable and equipped" first, then sort by opening hours and booking method — it cuts the back-and-forth.

Before you book

Before booking a Surgery consult, sort out a few practical things: is this an initial assessment or a follow-up on a known issue, do you have prior records or imaging you can bring, and do you need everything done in a single visit. Sorting this out up front keeps the visit smooth and the bill predictable.

When to escalate

If your pet has gone downhill fast — sudden drop in energy, sharp loss of appetite, or any other acute change — don't wait it out. Pick a clinic that can see you the same day or has 24-hour cover. If things look stable, book a regular consult ahead of time instead of walking in and queueing.
