TPLO surgery helps stabilize the knee after a CCL tear, one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs 🐶

It can help your dog walk, run, and play again with confidence.

There’s nothing better than seeing our patients get back to doing what they love. 💙

• Morning Of: No breakfast! A fasted pup helps keep anesthesia safe. Always follow your vet’s specific instructions.

Have questions? Reach out—our board-certified surgical team is here to help!
