Surgery With Compassion: When Your Pet Needs More Than Medicine

At Murieta Veterinary Hospital, we understand that your pets are more than just animals—they’re family. That’s why making decisions about their health, especially when surgery is involved, can feel overwhelming. Some surgeries, like spaying and neutering, are routine and prevent long-term health issues. Others, like removing tumors, repairing injuries, or treating internal conditions, are necessary to ensure your pet’s quality of life. If your pet is in pain, has trouble eating, or is showing unusual behavior, surgery may be a solution. We’re here to answer all your questions and walk you through the best options for your fur baby’s health.

 

Our compassionate team takes a personal approach, treating every pet as if they were our own. When surgery is necessary, we take time to explain the process, discuss alternatives, and make sure you’re comfortable with the decision. We’ll never recommend a procedure unless it’s truly in your pet’s best interest. Whether it’s a planned procedure or an emergency, you can trust that your pet is in caring hands with us. As a family-owned practice, we’re committed to being here for you and your pet every step of the way.

Hear From Our Pet Parents

“ Highly recommend..."

The new Murieta Pet Hospital is open, and I took my dog there this week for a Covid-overdue checkup. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. The vet was meticulous in his exam, and explained their SOPs very well. I am impressed with their professionalism and their care of my furry guy. I highly recommend!

“Our first visit and it was great!"

Our first visit and it was great! Everyone was so kind. Dr. P was amazing with our Bentley. He was loving, kind and thorough. So glad they’re here!

- Karen M.

“ Exceptional service and care...

I cannot recommend Dr.Sam and his staff more than I already do. They’re all so amazing. I don’t trust too many people with my dog Beau and Beau doesn’t love many people. Going here, he gets along with all the staff and they truly do feel like family. I can really feel the love they all have for their job. Beau and I leave happy every time we see the vet. Thank you Dr. Sam and staff!!

"Dr. Pietro resolved the issue within the hour.."

We were not clients of Murieta Pet Hospital at the time of our pet’s unexpected and numerous vomiting episodes of blood, etc.early one morning this week. We called MPH and left a message at 7:00AM and rec’d a call back shortly saying we could bring Henry in at 9:30AM. Dr. Pietro resolved the issue within the hour. The charges were reasonable, the advice and care excellent and the convenience of the location in RM outstanding. Most of all, we appreciated the prompt response, the kindness from the front office, Dr P. himself and, of course, the outcome.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery

We know how nerve-wracking it can be to bring your pet in for surgery, and we want to make the experience as stress-free as possible. Before surgery, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know, from fasting instructions to what to bring on the day of the procedure. Our team will perform a thorough pre-surgical exam to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia, and we’ll answer any questions you have. We believe in keeping pet parents informed and involved, so you’ll always know what to expect.

 

During surgery, your pet is in the safest hands. We use modern anesthesia and monitoring equipment, just like in human hospitals, to keep them comfortable and pain-free. After surgery, we’ll provide clear instructions for at-home care, including pain management, wound care, and activity restrictions. We also offer follow-up visits to check on your pet’s healing progress. As a small, family-run practice, we take extra care to ensure each pet recovers comfortably, and we’re always just a phone call away if you have concerns.

How Safe Is Pet Surgery?

One of the biggest concerns pet parents have is whether surgery is safe. The good news is that veterinary surgical techniques have come a long way, and procedures are now safer than ever. At Murieta Veterinary Hospital, we use the latest technology to monitor vital signs throughout surgery, ensuring your pet stays stable and comfortable. Every pet is unique, so we tailor anesthesia and pain management to their specific needs, reducing risks and promoting a smooth recovery. We take every precaution to make surgery as safe as possible for your beloved fur baby.

We also understand that even with the best precautions, surgery can feel scary. That’s why we take extra time to discuss potential risks, benefits, and any alternatives available. Our goal is to provide honest, compassionate care so you can make the best decision for your pet’s health. With our family-oriented approach, we want you to feel like you’re leaving your pet in the care of trusted friends. Your pet’s well-being is our top priority, and we’ll always go above and beyond to ensure their safety and comfort.

Choosing the Right Veterinary Surgeon for Your Pet

Not all veterinary clinics are the same, and when it comes to surgery, you want someone you can trust. At Murieta Veterinary Hospital, we’re a locally owned and family-run practice, which means we treat every pet like our own. Our skilled veterinarians have years of experience performing a wide range of surgeries, from routine procedures to more complex cases. We believe in personalized care, so you’ll never feel like just another number in a big corporate hospital. Instead, you’ll get the attention and support you and your pet deserve.

When choosing a veterinary surgeon, it’s important to ask about their experience, the type of anesthesia they use, and what kind of post-surgical care they provide. We encourage pet parents to ask as many questions as they need—we want you to feel confident in your decision. Our team is always happy to discuss procedures in detail and ensure you have all the information you need. When your pet is in our care, you can rest assured they’re being treated with the same love and dedication we give our own pets.
