Cat & Dog Surgeries in Alameda, CA
At Providence Veterinary Hospital & Clinic, we offer expert, safe cat and dog surgeries for pets of the greater Alameda, Oakland, and San Leandro communities at both of our locations. Your pet’s safety is our top concern during every procedure and we use the latest equipment and protocols to ensure their well-being.

If your pet needs a more complex procedure or orthopedics, we rely on the expertise of local board-certified surgeons at nearby specialty hospitals or a board-certified surgeon who may visit our hospital to perform these procedures.

Our Safety Protocols for Every Surgery
Whether a routine spay or neuter or a complex orthopedic procedure, we provide each and every pet with the same extensive safety protocols which include:
- Pre-anesthetic exam and blood work to check your pet’s overall health and look for any underlying conditions that may affect their ability to handle anesthesia
- IV catheter placement to supply your pet with fluids throughout the surgery, which helps to regulate their blood pressure and keep them hydrated
- Vitals monitoring of your pet’s heart rate and rhythm, respiration rate, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, and more
- A dedicated technician who watches over your pet from their admission through their recovery
- Medication designed to minimize pain, discomfort, and anxiety before, during, and after surgery and through recovery
Once your pet's procedure is finished, they'll be moved to recovery, where their technician will monitor them until they are alert. We'll let you know when they're ready for pick up, and will go over detailed recovery instructions for home. We'll also send you home with pain management to help your pet recover in minimal discomfort. If for whatever reason you are concerned about your pet during recovery, please don't hesitate to contact us at our Hospital (510) 521-6608 or our Clinic (510) 521-5775.
