Expert surgical and dental care for your pet.
Our surgical suite is modern and fully equipped for the procedures your pet may need. Dr. Doucette performs spay and neuter surgeries and soft tissue procedures with careful attention to anesthetic safety, pain management, and a smooth recovery.
Pre-surgical bloodwork is performed before any procedure to ensure your pet is safe for anesthesia. Detailed home care instructions are provided after every surgery, and we follow up to make sure recovery is going well.
Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs and cats, and one of the most overlooked. Professional dental cleanings remove tartar buildup below the gumline that brushing can't reach, and allow us to catch oral health issues before they cause significant pain.
Signs of dental disease include bad breath, yellow or brown teeth, difficulty eating, pawing at the mouth, or reluctance to chew. Regular cleanings prevent most of these issues from developing.

Common questions
How do I know if my pet is safe for anesthesia?
Jordan Bay Animal Hospital performs pre-anesthetic bloodwork before every surgical procedure. This screening checks kidney and liver function, red blood cell count, and other key values to confirm your pet can safely process anesthesia. Dr. Doucette reviews results with you and discusses any concerns before proceeding.
How long does recovery take after spay or neuter surgery?
Most dogs and cats recover from spay or neuter surgery within 10 to 14 days. Activity restriction is important during this period to allow proper incision healing. Jordan Bay provides detailed discharge instructions and follows up with you after surgery to make sure recovery is going as expected.
How can I tell if my dog or cat has dental disease?
Common signs of dental disease include persistent bad breath, yellow or brown tartar buildup on teeth, red or swollen gums, difficulty chewing, pawing at the mouth, or dropping food. Many pets show few outward signs until disease is advanced, which is why annual dental evaluations at wellness visits matter.
What soft tissue surgeries does Jordan Bay Animal Hospital perform?
In addition to spay and neuter procedures, Jordan Bay performs soft tissue surgeries including mass or lump removal, wound repair, and other common surgical needs. Dr. Doucette will evaluate your pet and discuss the best approach, including whether a referral to a specialist is appropriate for more complex cases.
What should I do to prepare my pet for surgery?
Most surgeries require fasting, no food after midnight the night before, though water is typically fine until morning. Dr. Doucette will give you specific pre-surgical instructions at your consultation. Arrive calm and on time, and have a quiet, comfortable space ready at home for recovery.
