Welcome to Bes Friends Pet Hospital, where our experienced veterinary team provides skilled, compassionate amputation surgery for pets in Monrovia and surrounding communities.
Amputation is a surgical procedure to remove a limb or part of a limb, often recommended when injury, cancer, infection, or severe trauma makes saving the limb impossible. While the idea of amputation can be overwhelming, pets are remarkably resilient and can adapt well to life on three legs. Our veterinary team carefully evaluates each case to determine if amputation is truly the best option for your pet’s health and comfort. Removing a painful or non-functioning limb can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life, relieve suffering, and allow them to return to normal activities. At Bes Friends Pet Hospital, we use advanced surgical techniques and comprehensive pain management to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort throughout the process. Our goal is to help your pet live a happy, active life after surgery, with ongoing support and guidance for a smooth recovery.
Our veterinary team guides you and your pet through every step of the amputation process, prioritizing safety, comfort, and a smooth recovery.
Before surgery, your pet receives a thorough physical exam, diagnostic bloodwork, and digital radiographs. These tests help us assess overall health, pinpoint the problem, and plan the safest surgical approach. Dr. Hardy reviews all findings with you and answers your questions before moving forward.
We tailor anesthesia and pain control protocols to each patient, using the latest medications and monitoring equipment. Throughout surgery, our veterinary professionals closely monitor your pet’s vital signs to ensure maximum safety and comfort from start to finish.
Amputation is performed with meticulous technique to minimize tissue trauma and promote healing. Our team uses advanced surgical equipment and sterile protocols, ensuring the procedure is as smooth and gentle as possible. We also focus on managing bleeding and providing optimal wound closure.
After surgery, your pet recovers in a quiet, comfortable environment. We provide comprehensive pain management, monitor for complications, and keep you informed every step of the way. Before going home, we review detailed at-home care instructions and schedule follow-up visits to support your pet’s recovery.
When a limb is severely injured, infected, or affected by cancer, amputation can be the most humane choice to relieve pain and restore your pet’s quality of life. Our team approaches each case with compassion, always focusing on what is best for your companion.
Amputation removes the source of chronic pain, allowing pets to feel better almost immediately. Many pets experience increased comfort and mobility after surgery, especially when a limb is non-functional or causing distress.
While losing a limb is a major event, most pets adapt quickly and regain their ability to walk, run, and play. Our veterinary team provides guidance and support to help your pet adjust to life as a "tripod."
In cases of aggressive cancer or severe infection, amputation can prevent the spread of disease and save your pet’s life. Our timely intervention ensures the best possible outcome for your companion.

Amputation is not a routine procedure; it is only recommended when medically necessary. If your pet suffers a severe injury, develops a tumor, or has a non-healing infection, our veterinarians will thoroughly assess whether amputation is the best solution. We always explore all possible treatments first and only recommend surgery when it offers the best chance for a pain-free, healthy life. Each case is unique, and our team will guide you through every step of the decision-making process.
