Surgical Services
Operations We Perform
Routine and elective surgery performed by senior veterinarians with 25+ years of clinical experience. Every procedure follows structured internationally recognised protocols.
Spay — Female Dogs & Cats
Surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus. Prevents unwanted pregnancy, eliminates the risk of uterine infection and significantly reduces the risk of certain tumours. One of the most frequently performed procedures at our clinic.
Commonly Performed
Neuter — Male Dogs & Cats
Surgical removal of the testicles. Eliminates testicular disease, reduces hormone-driven behaviour and lowers the risk of certain conditions. Routine procedure with straightforward recovery.
Routine
Tumour & Mass Removal
Surgical excision of skin, subcutaneous and soft tissue masses. Early removal gives the best outcomes. Removed tissue can be sent for assessment to confirm the nature of the mass.
Soft Tissue
Abdominal Surgery
Exploratory laparotomy, foreign body removal from the stomach or intestines, and other abdominal interventions. When a pet swallows a toy, bone or other object, early surgical assessment is critical.
Abdominal
Eye Surgery — Entropion & Ectropion
Surgical correction of inward-rolling (entropion) or outward-rolling (ectropion) eyelids — conditions that cause chronic irritation, pain and damage to the cornea if left untreated. Common in several breeds.
Ophthalmic

Common Questions About Pet Surgery
The optimal age varies by species, breed and size. There is no single universal answer — your senior veterinarian will assess your pet individually and advise the timing that is right for your specific animal. Contact us to discuss your pet’s situation before making a decision.
Yes — always. A pre-anaesthetic blood panel is performed in-house before every surgical procedure at Best Pet Vet. Results are available in under 15 minutes. This confirms organ function, blood cell counts and overall readiness for anaesthesia. We do not proceed with surgery without this confirmation.
Very urgent. If a foreign object has been swallowed, contact us immediately. Within the first 2 hours it is often possible to empty the stomach without surgical intervention. After that window, the object may move further into the digestive tract and surgery becomes the only option. Do not wait to see if it passes.
Most pets are alert and moving within hours of surgery. Your senior veterinarian will advise the specific recovery period based on the procedure and your pet’s individual situation. Bathing and contact with other animals should be avoided during recovery. Full written aftercare instructions are provided before you leave the clinic — with a clear follow-up timeline.
Yes. Best Pet Vet performs surgical procedures on exotic animals including rabbits, birds and reptiles. Exotic surgery requires specialist knowledge, adapted anaesthesia protocols and specific monitoring equipment — a level of care that relatively few clinics in Abu Dhabi provide. Please call or WhatsApp ahead so the right team member is prepared for your animal.
