Pet Surgery in Dubai
Deciding on surgery for your pet is one of the most stressful moments of pet ownership. At Paw Sisters, we are here to make that decision as clear and informed as possible. Our surgical team combines careful pre-operative assessment, precise technique, and thorough post-operative monitoring to give your pet the best possible outcome and a smooth recovery.
Safe Pet Surgery in 4 Carefully Managed Steps
To ensure your pet safety, every surgical case at Paw Sisters follows four carefully managed stages – from pre-operative assessment through to post-operative recovery support.
1. Pre-surgical assessment
Before any procedure, we conduct a complete pre-surgical assessment including physical examination, blood pressure measurement, cardiac auscultation, and review of all relevant history. For elective surgeries, pre-anaesthetic bloodwork is standard practice. This is not unnecessary – it is how we protect your pet and catch any hidden conditions that would change our anaesthetic approach.
2. Meticulous Preparation for the Procedure
Meticulous surgical preparation is non-negotiable. The surgical site is clipped, cleaned, and sterilised using a veterinary-grade aseptic protocol. All instruments are autoclaved and laid up fresh for each procedure. Continuous vital sign monitoring is maintained from the moment anaesthesia is induced until your pet is fully conscious and stable in recovery.
3. Performing Surgical Procedures
We perform a comprehensive range of surgical procedures in both dogs and cats. Routine procedures such as spaying, neutering, and wound repair are carried out alongside more complex work including tumour removal, fracture repair, bowel surgery, and emergency interventions. Each procedure is planned individually, with a clear explanation provided to you before we proceed.
4. Post-Surgery Care
Typical Recovery Timelines by Procedure
Recovery varies by procedure and individual patient. General guidance is:
– Spay or neuter: 10 to 14 days to full healing, restricted exercise for the first week
– Minor soft tissue surgery: 10 to 14 days
– Dental extractions: 3 to 7 days, soft food recommended
– Orthopaedic surgery: 4 to 12 weeks depending on procedure
– Abdominal surgery: 2 to 4 weeks, strict rest required
– Caesarean section: 2 to 3 weeks for the mother, immediate neonatal monitoring required
We give you specific guidance for your pet procedure at discharge, not generic advice.

Safe Anaesthesia and Continuous Monitoring
Anaesthesia is often the part of surgery that worries pet owners most. At Paw Sisters, we take it seriously. Every patient receives a personalised anaesthetic protocol based on species, weight, age, breed, and health status. Pre-anaesthetic bloodwork is recommended before elective procedures to assess organ function and identify any risk factors. During surgery, a dedicated team member monitors heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation continuously – from induction to full recovery.
Pre-Surgical Assessment and Post-Operative Care
At Paw Sisters, your pet does not go into surgery without a full pre-operative evaluation, and does not go home without a clear post-operative care plan.
Before surgery: Pre-operative examination, bloodwork, fasting instructions, and a pre-anaesthetic health assessment. We explain the procedure, what to expect, and answer all your questions before proceeding.
After surgery: Your pet recovers in a supervised, warm recovery area until fully conscious. Most routine procedures such as spay, neuter, and minor soft tissue surgery are same-day discharge. More complex procedures may require an overnight stay for monitoring – we will tell you clearly which applies to your pet before surgery begins.
Before the Procedure
A thorough pre-surgical health assessment confirms your pet is ready to undergo anaesthesia safely. This includes a physical examination measuring heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure, review of medical history, and pre-operative bloodwork. If imaging is needed to plan the procedure, we carry this out in-house on the same visit.
After the Procedure
After surgery, our team provides structured discharge support including written home-care instructions, medication guidance, dietary restrictions, wound care advice, and a scheduled follow-up appointment. We are available by phone if you have concerns during your pet recovery at home.
Pain Management and Recovery Support
We understand that recovery does not end when your pet leaves our clinic. Post-operative monitoring, pain management, and clear guidance for home care are all part of the surgical service at Paw Sisters. We follow up at the scheduled post-op appointment to check wound healing and confirm your pet is recovering as expected.
