Soft Tissue Surgery

Soft Tissue Surgery for Your Pet

Just like us, pets can have a number of different troubles that require surgery as treatment.

At Peninsula Pet Clinic in San Pedro, CA, we are more than just a veterinary office, we are a full-service animal hospital. Dr. Van Volkenburgh is a certified surgeon prepared to help your pet with their surgical needs.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Soft Tissue surgery refers to surgery involving internal organs, skin and muscles. Common reasons for soft tissue surgery are to remove an obstruction from the intestines or cancer-related surgeries.

Sometimes your dog or cat may develop at potentially cancerous growth. Just as it is with us, when possible, removal is the recommended course of action.

After the Surgery

After the surgery, your pet will require special care to ensure their recovery. They may need to stay for a bit at our well-appointed animal hospital facilities and our staff will provide you with detailed instructions to help you care for your pet when it’s time to come home.

We had an emergency on a Sunday with our precious English bulldog. We were welcomed right away and our dog was treated and quickly diagnosed as needing emergency surgery. The staff her stabilized our dog overnight so that we could take to our own surgeon the following morning. Our dog could of died if this kind vet clinic was not here for us on a Sunday. Can’t thank them enough.

I took my cat for a physical exam because she seemed sick and I’d heard really good aspects of this place. Fortunately, I did because they were so helpful, caring, understanding and knowledgable. I couldn’t have asked for better customer service and care for my cat from the staff and Dr. Van Volkenburgh. I’m so thankful for the care they gave to my baby girl and had no issues with my experience so I highly recommend coming here.

Life savers!! My dogs fur started falling out in January. I called Peninsula Pet Clinic and Diana picked up the phone. I told her everything and she genuinely cared about my situation. She had me bring my dog up immediately and got him checked out. My dog was always scared of going into Veterinary clinics, but not this one. Everyone was so friendly we both felt at ease. I am blown away with this clinic. They have completely made us feel like part of the family. Bottom line, my dogs skin, and health are getting back to normal because Diana was so helpful and eager to get me in. I truly owe her and the rest of the staff a great deal of gratitude for everything they have done for Cody and I.
