Soft-Tissue Surgery

Soft-Tissue Surgery for Pets in Michigan

At Canton Animal Hospital, we provide advanced soft-tissue surgeries for dogs and cats, treating a variety of conditions affecting the skin, muscles, and internal organs. Whether your pet requires surgery for mass removal, wound reconstruction, or an internal procedure, our expert veterinary team ensures precise surgical care, modern technology, and comprehensive post-operative support for the best possible outcome.

Soft-tissue surgery covers a wide range of non-orthopedic procedures, including tumor removals, trauma repairs, and abdominal or thoracic surgeries. These conditions, if left untreated, can significantly impact your pet’s health and quality of life.

We know surgery can be stressful for both pets and their owners. That’s why we focus on pre-surgical evaluations, tailored anesthesia plans, and post-operative monitoring to ensure a smooth recovery. Our goal is to provide compassionate, high-quality surgical care that enhances your pet’s health and well-being.

  • Wounds that won’t heal or signs of infection

Petstimonials

I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff for the excellent care they have all provided to my Lena. I've been bringing Lena to Dr. Dhaliwal since I got her as a baby. Lena was so terrified of men that she just shook when she first met him. He soon won her over with his calm, gentle demeanor however. Now all I have to do is say his name and she runs straight to the door ready to go see him.
