What to Expect During Your Pet’s Surgery:
If your pet is scheduled for surgery at Urban Pawz Animal Clinic, you can expect a smooth and well-coordinated process. On the day of surgery, our team will:
Pre-surgical Check-up
Perform a pre-surgical check-up to ensure your pet is ready for the procedure.

Recovery Times for Common Pet Surgeries:
Recovery from surgery varies depending on the type of procedure your pet undergoes. Here’s what you can expect for some of the more common surgeries:
Soft-Tissue Surgery
Pets typically recover within 10-14 days as long as recommended activity restrictions are followed.
Spaying/Neutering
Most pets bounce back within 10-14 days, but activity should still be limited to prevent strain on the incision.
Dental Surgery
Recovery from dental procedures is usually quick, with most pets feeling back to normal within a few days. However, your pet may require additional restrictions if one or multiple teeth have been removed.
How to Prepare Your Pet for Surgery
Getting your pet ready for surgery is essential for a smooth procedure. To ensure comfort and readiness, here’s what you can do before the surgery.
Overview
Most surgeries are outpatient procedures, where they are dropped off early in the morning and picked up later in the day. If your pet needs continued care and monitoring after-hours, we will direct you and your pet to the appropriate overnight facility. All recommended recovery protocols should be strictly followed to ensure your pet returns to good health and a normal life as quickly as possible.
Fasting Instructions
In most cases, we advise that your pet not eat any food or treats at least 8 hours prior to surgery. Provide access to water at all times. If your pet has any chronic illness, we’ll provide more specific guidelines for when to withhold food and water before surgery.
Comfort Items
Bring a favorite toy or blanket to help your pet feel more at ease in the clinic.
Pre-Visit Pharmaceuticals
If your pet gets anxious at the vet, make sure you administer any medications as discussed during the pre-surgical consultation. Please call if you have any questions about this.
Accessibility
Ensure that you will be available the day of the procedure to discuss any intraoperative findings, especially if your pet is scheduled for a dental cleaning.
Post-Surgical Care Services
After surgery, your pet will require special care to ensure a full recovery. At Urban Pawz Animal Clinic, we offer comprehensive post-surgical veterinary care services for pets in Coconut Creek, South Florida. Our services include:
Pain Management
We provide appropriate medications to keep your pet comfortable and reduce post-surgical discomfort.
Incision Care
We will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your pet’s surgical site to minimize risk of infection and ensure full recovery.
Monitored Healing
