Veterinary Surgery in Georgetown, TX
At Guardian Paws Animal Hospital, we provide advanced veterinary surgery for dogs and cats in Georgetown, Liberty Hill, and Leander. From routine procedures to complex emergency surgeries, our skilled team combines expertise with compassion—delivering safe, effective, and affordable surgical care at general practice prices.
Advanced Surgical Care Close to Home
Surgery is one of our hospital’s primary specialties and a cornerstone of what makes us unique. While many veterinary clinics in Georgetown refer complicated cases to outside specialists, we are equipped and experienced in performing both routine and advanced surgeries right here in our community. This means your pet can receive the care they need in a familiar, supportive environment, often at a fraction of the cost of a specialty or emergency hospital.
Our veterinary hospital is committed to surgical excellence. We use modern anesthesia monitoring, sterile techniques, and individualized pain management to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort at every stage. From the pre-operative exam to post-surgical recovery, our caring team keeps you informed so you know what to expect and feel confident in your pet’s treatment.
Emergency Pet Surgery When It Matters Most
Urgent situations can arise without warning, and timely intervention often makes the difference. At Guardian Paws, we’re willing to extend our hours for emergency cases, such as pyometra or foreign body removal, if a patient arrives before 5:30 pm. Our veterinarians and staff may stay as late as 9:00 pm to provide life-saving surgical care when your pet needs it most.
This level of dedication helps families avoid the overwhelming and often unrealistic costs of emergency hospitals—where a procedure might start at $8,000 compared to less than half that cost at Guardian Paws—while still receiving advanced, high-quality care.

Safety, Monitoring & Pain Management
Your pet’s safety is our highest priority. Before any planned surgery, your pet will need to come in at least 2 days prior for pre-anesthetic bloodwork to assess organ function and ensure anesthesia is as safe as possible. During the procedure, our trained staff closely monitors heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, EKG and temperature.
Pain management is also a central part of our surgical care. We use modern anesthetics and pain control protocols to keep pets comfortable, both during surgery and throughout recovery. After discharge, our team provides clear instructions and is available to answer any questions as your pet heals at home.
