Pet owners choose Peak Veterinary Hospital for surgery because we combine advanced veterinary medicine with small-town compassion. We provide thorough pre-anesthetic bloodwork, continuous monitoring during surgery, and attentive post-operative care to promote a smooth recovery.

Pets age much faster than people. While the exact timeline varies by breed and size:

  • Small dogs & cats are generally considered senior at age 7.
  • Large and giant breed dogs may be senior as early as age 5–6.

Once pets reach their senior years, they become more prone to conditions such as arthritis, dental disease, kidney disease, and heart problems. Early detection and proactive care are key.

Senior pets may not always show obvious signs when something is wrong. Regular checkups and proactive care help us:

  • Catch diseases before they become advanced
  • Reduce pain and discomfort from chronic conditions
  • Extend both the length and quality of your pet’s life

Orthopedic surgery requires precision and expertise to ensure the best outcomes. Our surgeon is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), guaranteeing the highest standard of surgical care, up-to-date knowledge of the latest techniques, and compassionate patient management.

Bringing this specialist directly to Peak Veterinary Hospital allows your pet to stay in a familiar, stress-free environment with a veterinary team they know and trust. This reduces anxiety and promotes smoother recovery.

Laparoscopic procedures are minimally invasive surgeries where veterinarians use a small camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions instead of a large open incision.

  • Less pain and discomfort
  • Smaller incisions and scars
  • Lower risk of infection
  • Faster healing and return to activity
  • More precise visualization for the surgeon

Most pets benefit from an annual dental exam and cleaning, but your veterinarian may recommend more frequent care depending on your pet’s needs.

Brushing your pet’s teeth, using dental chews or rinses, and feeding approved dental diets can all help keep their mouth healthy between cleanings.
