Post-Operative Care

At Pad Home Pet Services, we understand that the road to recovery after surgery can be a stressful time for both you and your beloved pet. That’s why we go above and beyond to provide compassionate, expert post-operative care right in the comfort of your own home. Our at-home post-surgery care services are designed to ensure that your pet recovers smoothly, with minimal stress and maximum comfort.

Why Home Care Matters

Surgery can be overwhelming for pets, and the environment they recover in plays a significant role in their healing process. Being in a familiar setting helps reduce anxiety and promotes faster recovery. Our skilled caregivers come to your home to monitor your pet's recovery closely, so they feel safe and secure in their own surroundings.

What We Offer

Expert Monitoring for Post-Operative Recovery 

After surgery, it’s essential to keep a close eye on your pet’s healing. Our team is trained to identify early signs of complications and intervene swiftly if needed, ensuring your pet's recovery stays on track. While Pad is not an emergency pet care facility, we can guide and help prevent complications as best as possible.  

Pain Management for Pets After Surgery 

We work with your vet’s guidelines to ensure your pet receives the right medication at the right time, managing any pain or discomfort they may feel after surgery.

Mobility Assistance & Post-Surgery Support 

Depending on the surgery, your pet may need help getting around or maintaining activity. Our team offers gentle support, helping them move comfortably and avoid strain.

Hydration & Nutrition During Recovery 

Post-surgery, it’s vital for your pet to stay hydrated and receive the proper nutrients for healing. We ensure they eat and drink as needed and follow any dietary restrictions.

Wound Care & Bandage Changes for Post-Surgical Care 

We assist with any necessary wound care, monitoring surgical sites for signs of infection, and changing bandages as needed to promote proper healing.

Passive Range of Motion for Post-Operative Recovery 

We practice gently moving a pet's joints through their full range of motion by hand, without them actively using their muscles, to help maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness in the affected area following surgery.

Monitoring for self-trauma after surgery 

Pad will carefully observe your pet's behavior following a surgical procedure to identify signs that they might be causing harm to themselves, such as excessive licking or biting at the incision site, which could potentially lead to infection or impede healing, and could be a sign of discomfort or distress related to the surgery.

Personalized Care You Can Trust

At Pad Home Pet Services, we know that every pet is unique, and their recovery journey is too. That's why we take the time to create a personalized post-operative care plan for your pet, tailored to their specific needs. Whether your pet is recovering from a minor procedure or a major surgery, we’re here to provide the highest standard of care—right in your own home.
