At Red Rock Veterinary Health, we’re proud to offer both routine and complex veterinary surgical services—all in a low-stress, familiar environment your pet knows and trusts. Dr. Robbie Unsell, who has been a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons for over a decade, brings advanced surgical experience to every procedure. From soft tissue surgeries to intricate mass removals and oral procedures, your pet is in capable hands. Additionally, our surgery workflow allows you to be present with your pet (if you’d like) during premedication and catheter placement allowing them to feel safe, and to help prevent them from sitting in a kennel for hours leading up to their procedure, which is known to increase Fear, Anxiety, & Stress (FAS).

At Red Rock Vet we recognize that the surgical process doesn’t stop when your pet leaves the hospital. Our health care team employs a robust communication system post surgery that helps streamline our recommendations and helps catch complications early. We make the surgical experience less scary by making ourselves available for you and by prioritizing rechecks if things aren’t going well.

For highly specialized or advanced orthopedic cases, we partner with trusted mobile board-certified surgical specialists, allowing your pet to receive expert care without having to leave our hospital. Every surgery is performed with comprehensive anesthetic monitoring and pain management, ensuring safety, comfort, and a smooth recovery.
