Surgical services

Expert surgery, integrated care, confident recovery

At STAR Vets, we offer a range of routine and non-routine soft-tissue surgical procedures, delivered with careful planning, modern anaesthesia, and a strong focus on pain management and recovery.

Our surgical services include procedures such as neutering, mass removal, wound and abscess surgery, soft-tissue operations, and selected diagnostic and minimally invasive procedures where appropriate. Every surgery is carefully tailored to your pet, with pre-operative assessment, attentive monitoring, and clear aftercare guidance throughout.

When specialist surgery is needed

For orthopaedic surgery or more complex musculoskeletal conditions, we work closely with our sister practice, STAR Rehab Referrals. This allows us to refer patients seamlessly for advanced orthopaedic assessment and surgery, supported by in-house diagnostics, rehabilitation, and pain-management expertise, all within the wider STAR team.

This joined-up approach means:

• Clear decision-making based on accurate diagnosis
• Smooth referral and communication between teams
• Integrated rehabilitation before and after surgery
• Continuity of care, with your pet supported at every stage

Clear communication, compassionate care

If surgery is recommended, we’ll always explain why it’s needed, what it involves, and what recovery will look like, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Whether surgery is performed here at STAR Vets or through referral to a specialist centre, your pet’s comfort, safety, and long-term well-being remain our priority.
