Spay & Neuter Surgery
Spay and neuter surgery is one of the most common and most important procedures we perform for pets. Beyond helping reduce pet overpopulation, spaying and neutering can offer meaningful health and behavioral benefits for your dog or cat.
Our veterinary surgical team performs spay and neuter procedures with full anesthetic monitoring and compassionate recovery support, so your pet stays comfortable and safe from start to finish. If you're searching for a reliable pet surgeon in Richmond for your dog or cat's spay or neuter, COTA Veterinary is here to help.
Soft Tissue Surgery
COTA Veterinary performs a range of routine soft tissue surgical procedures in our pet surgical clinic. Our dedicated anesthesia team works alongside our experienced veterinary surgeons to ensure your pet is closely monitored and well cared for throughout the entire procedure.
For more complex cases that require advanced surgical expertise, we partner with trusted local specialists who hold advanced surgical certifications. If a referral is the right path for your pet, we'll coordinate the process and stay involved in their care every step of the way because your pet's safety always comes first.
Mass Removals (Lumpectomy)
Discovering a lump on your pet can be alarming, but a mass removal, also called a lumpectomy, is a procedure our veterinary surgical team performs regularly with great care and precision. Whether the growth is a concern for your pet's comfort or long-term health, our team will walk you through everything you need to know before, during, and after surgery.
Following the procedure, the removed tissue is sent for pathological analysis to determine whether any further therapy is needed. Our goal is always to give your pet the best possible outcome and to give you the information and peace of mind you deserve as a pet owner.
