Pet Orthopedic Surgery
When your pet is limping, injured, or showing signs of pain, the path to recovery begins with expert care from trusted hands. We at Providence Animal Hospital proudly provide pet orthopedic surgery in Mt. Juliet, TN, through our long-standing partnership with Tennessee Veterinary Surgical Specialists (TVSS) — a Nashville-based, board-certified mobile surgical team.
What Is Orthopedic Surgery for Pets?
Pet orthopedic surgery focuses on the bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons of dogs and cats, with a goal of restoring comfort and mobility.
Just like in humans, pets can develop orthopedic conditions due to injury, congenital deformities, or degenerative diseases like arthritis, which limit their range of movement and can cause considerable pain. Fortunately, with today’s surgical advancements — including specialized procedures like TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) — many orthopedic problems can be effectively treated, giving your pet a second chance at an active, pain-free life.

All procedures are performed right here in our hospital by a board-certified veterinary surgeon from TVSS, supported by our in-house team for post-operative care, monitoring, and pain management.
