Safe Surgical and Dental Care

Table with surgical instruments

When your pet is scheduled for surgery or a dental cleaning—both of which require the use of general anesthesia—we will take every precaution to protect your pet’s health and safety. We will conduct a pre-anesthesia physical exam and perform diagnostics to be able to plan our anesthesia carefully.

If Your Pet Needs Surgery

We will handle your pet with compassion and do all we can to keep your pet comfortable and safe before, during, and after his or her surgery.

Procedures we commonly perform include:

  • Spays and neuters
  • Mass removals
  • Dental surgery
  • Splenectomies
  • Biopsies
  • Bladder stone removal
  • Emergency, exploratory surgeries

Complex and Orthopedic Surgeries

If your pet’s condition requires a complex procedure, we may call in a board-certified specialist to perform the surgery at our clinic or, we may refer you to a nearby specialty clinic.

Dental Cleanings

Routine oral hygiene not only improves your pet’s smile and breath, it’s also an important aspect of preventive care. Your doctor will do a quick check of your pet’s mouth at every wellness visit, but we also recommend thorough dental cleanings under general anesthesia. Using general anesthesia enables us to perform a comprehensive cleaning, remove plaque, examine beneath the gum lines, and capture clear digital x-rays. And if we spot trouble, we can also perform minor procedures, such as tooth extractions.

We know that any procedure requiring general anesthesia can be stressful for you and your pet. We welcome any questions you might have. Please call us anytime to discuss your pet’s needs.

Always friendly and knowledgeable staff who take good care of your furry loved ones”

First in person/pet visit in 16 months. Dr. Baker and staff highly professional, efficient and friendly. I've been bringing all my animals to Dr. Baker more than 15 years.”

This place is awesome and very accommodating! I took my dog here yesterday to get all of his shots redone and some lab work. It was our first time here, and my pup gets anxious and reactive at the vet. I told the receptionist this when we checked in and she said we could wait in the car and they would come out to get us when we were ready. It was so sweet! When the vet tech came to get us, she brought us through the back so we could minimize any stress for my dog.”

They did a great job taking care of our cat and fixing up his teeth. He's much happier now.”

We’ve been taking our various cats to Allandale for about 25 years now, and have always received thoughtful and attentive care. They are professional, caring, and supportive. They have helped with many serious illnesses and, when it was time, crossings over the rainbow bridge. They have helped our kitties lead proactive, healthy lives. Highly recommended.”

I take my elderly client's pets to Allendale Vet Clinic. They are so very kind and communicate with her to check on how her dudes are doing after surgery or procedures. All the staff are friendly and efficient!”
