Spay/Neuter Procedure for Dogs
Spaying/neutering procedures are common surgeries for dogs and are highly recommended for both health and behavioral benefits. Spaying or neutering your dog not only helps control unwanted population growth but also improves behavior and overall health. Dogs that undergo this procedure tend to live longer, with a reduced risk of certain diseases like breast cancer and prostate cancer.
For female dogs, spaying involves removing the ovaries and uterus, which helps prevent infections of the uterus, reduces the chance of ovarian tumors, and cuts the risk of breast cancer by nearly 9%. Female dogs are recommended to undergo spay/neuter surgery at 5 to 12 months of age. Neutering male dogs, on the other hand, means removing the testicles, which can lower the risk of prostate cancer and help address behavioral issues such as aggression and territorial marking.
Before performing this surgical service for dogs, we will conduct a thorough checkup and blood work to ensure your dog is healthy enough for the procedure and that anesthesia will be safe.
Soft Tissue Surgery for Dogs
Soft tissue surgery focuses on procedures that do not involve bones. Apart from spaying or neutering, soft tissue surgical service for dogs can include the removal of masses, repair of traumatic or lacerated injuries, hernia repair, and bladder stone removal. Soft tissue surgery is essential for treating a variety of conditions and ensuring your dog’s health and comfort.
Our veterinary team is highly skilled in soft-tissue surgery, and we ensure your dog receives the best care before, during, and after the procedure.
Orthopedic Surgery for Dogs
Orthopedic surgery is necessary when your dog faces issues with their bones or joints. The most common orthopedic procedures in dogs include surgeries for hip dysplasia, ligament repairs, luxating patellas, and disc disease. These surgeries help reduce pain and improve mobility, allowing your dog to live a more comfortable, active life.
At Founders Green Animal Hospital, we use the latest technology and advanced techniques to provide the best possible results for your dog’s orthopedic surgery. Whether your dog has joint issues or is recovering from an injury, our caring team is here to support you through every step of the process.
Mass Removal for Dogs
Mass removal is necessary when your dog has a tumor, cyst, or hernia that needs to be removed. Even if the growth is benign, it needs to be removed to prevent cancer or to prevent an impact on nearby tissues. Removing these masses can improve your dog’s overall well-being and help prevent future health problems. Taking steps to address these issues can lead to a healthier life for your pet and give you peace of mind.
Our vets will carefully examine the lump and decide the best way to help your dog. If surgery is needed, we will ensure your dog is comfortable and monitored throughout the procedure.
Foreign Body Removal for Dogs

At Founders Green Animal Hospital, we specialize in removing foreign objects your dog has swallowed. Our team will perform the necessary surgical procedures to remove the object and help prevent any further health issues. If you think your dog has swallowed something harmful, contact us right away so we can provide the care your pet needs.
