Have Questions? We’re Here to Help!

Why should I choose SurgiPet for my pet’s surgery over a regular vet hospital?

There’s a difference in the level of care that you’ll get at SurgiPet. While general clinics may perform surgeries among other tasks, we focus on surgery only—with an experienced surgeon, a board-certified anesthesiologist, and the latest equipment and technology.

You’ll also get clear, upfront pricing and dedicated post-operative support, available 7 days a week, including weekends.

Do you perform TPLO Surgery?

TPLO is the most common surgery performed at SurgiPet. It is our preferred treatment for dogs who have torn or injured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), also called the CCL ligament of the knee.

The all-inclusive package fee for TPLO surgery at SurgiPet covers everything from the initial consultation to post-surgical rechecks and x-rays and offers 30-40% savings are compared to large veterinary hospitals' charges.

How SurgiPet differs from a mobile surgeon at my pet clinic?

Unlike mobile surgeons who visit general vet clinics, SurgiPet is a dedicated surgical center. Here, you’ll personally meet your pet’s surgeon from consultation through every follow-up, whereas mobile surgeons often aren’t available for direct communication.

SurgiPet provides advanced equipment (like 4K arthroscopy, LigaSure, C-arm, and titanium implants) not usually accessible with mobile services. A board-certified anesthesiologist ensures your pet’s safety, answering all your questions.

Additionally, post-surgery support is available 7 days a week. If complications like incision licking or accidental injury occur, your surgeon is always just a phone call away.

Do I have to make an appointment?

Yes! All consultations and surgeries (including emergencies) are scheduled through our patient care team. You can call us at 760.290.8390, email info@surgipet.com, or fill out our contact form - whatever works best for you!

Does SurgiPet offer dental services and teeth cleaning?

SurgiPet does not offer oral health services or other routine care. For complex dental problems we recommend veterinary dental specialist office, Pacific Coast Veterinary Dentistry & Oral Surgery.

Do you offer spay and neuter surgeries?

Yes, we do—but with a level of expertise and care that goes far beyond the routine. At SurgiPet, spay and neuter procedures are performed with the same advanced standards as all our surgeries.

Our lead surgeon brings over 20 years of experience, and every patient is monitored by a board-certified anesthesiologist for exceptional safety and comfort. We frequently care for pets with complex medical conditions, like heart or liver disease, or large breed dogs where the procedure is more demanding—especially when combined with a gastropexy.

While this level of care reflects the most modern and safest approach, it does come at a higher cost than regular vet clinics. We’re happy to discuss whether our services are the right fit for your pet.

Do you offer payment plans?

SurgiPet accepts the CareCredit credit card with special financing options* and payment plans through ScratchPay. We provide flat-fee all-inclusive transparent quotes for surgical procedures so that you are fully informed and able to make financial arrangements if necessary. [*Subject to credit approval]
