Our veterinary clinic has low-cost surgery options for pets.
Many pet owners worry about the cost of surgery, but we’re here to change that. Affordable Animal Hospital offers many soft-tissue and orthopedic pet surgeries. Our surgical prices keep costs manageable compared with other local Tacoma veterinarians while maintaining safety and quality.
Some commonly performed soft-tissue surgeries include spays, neuters, tumor removals, eye surgeries, and more. Dr. Walia also performs orthopedic procedures for pets like cruciate ligament repair (CCL), fracture repair, and amputations. Every surgery includes anesthesia, IV catheter placement, pain relief, and careful monitoring. Don’t let expenses get in the way of the surgery that your pet needs.

Walk-Ins Welcome, But Please Call Us
We know that not every pet visit is planned. Affordable Animal Hospital welcomes walk-ins for most services. If your pet suddenly isn’t feeling well or your schedule opens up unexpectedly, you may want to visit the vet. We do recommend calling ahead to let us know that you are bringing your pet in. This allows us to give every pet the time and attention they need. We may also have same-day appointments available at a specific time so that you do not have to spend additional time with your fur baby in our waiting room.
