Summit Veterinary Surgery Service Works Directly With Your Vet
Summit Veterinary Surgery Service teams up with your local vet in the Sacramento Valley area. We are here for your cat or dog when the need for specialized veterinary surgery is required to help your pet recover from an injury or illness. We are your mobile veterinary surgery specialists and can work with your veterinarian in their Sacramento Valley office. You can ask your family veterinarian to utilize our services, or your family veterinarian can recommend our surgical services for your pet.
After your family veterinarian evaluates your pet, we can receive their X-rays, other scanned images, and records to assess the best surgical treatment for your cat or dog. Then, our veterinary surgical team can utilize your local vet’s surgical suite and our vet surgical equipment and expertise to get your animal back to health as soon as possible!
