Removal of one mammary chain for feline mammary neoplasia or regional mammary disease when unilateral surgery is appropriate. Staged first-side Tier 2 and second-side Tier 1 total $7,500–10,700; single-session bilateral Tier 4 is $7,800–10,500. Pricing is deliberately comparable so it does not discourage the preferred staged approach.

Removal of both mammary chains in a single session for feline mammary neoplasia when closure tension and patient factors allow single-session surgery. Staged first-side Tier 2 and second-side Tier 1 total $7,500–10,700; single-session bilateral Tier 4 is $7,800–10,500. Pricing is deliberately comparable so it does not discourage the preferred staged approach.

Planned contralateral mammary chain removal performed after recovery from the first-side chain mastectomy. Staged first-side Tier 2 and second-side Tier 1 total $7,500–10,700; single-session bilateral Tier 4 is $7,800–10,500. Pricing is deliberately comparable so it does not discourage the preferred staged approach.

More complex hepatic resection involving right-sided, central, or multi-lobar liver disease with higher dissection and support needs.

Surgical removal of one front limb, with routine aftercare for the described procedure.

Surgical removal of one hind limb, with routine aftercare for the described procedure.

Routine bladder surgery for removal of cystic calculi or other straightforward urinary bladder disease without urethrotomy, rupture, or major urinary reconstruction.

Urinary surgery requiring cystotomy plus urethrotomy or additional urethral access for obstructive uroliths or urethral disease.

Surgical repair of urinary leakage into the abdomen, most commonly from bladder rupture, bladder tear, or traumatic urinary tract injury.

Routine single-site gastrointestinal foreign body surgery without linear foreign body, bowel devitalization, perforation, or septic abdomen.

Gastrointestinal surgery for a linear foreign body or plicated bowel, with increased operative complexity but without established septic abdomen or major diversion.

Gallbladder surgery for stable gallbladder disease or non-ruptured mucocele without bile peritonitis or diversion/rerouting.

Gallbladder surgery for rupture or bile peritonitis without diversion/rerouting, with increased contamination and medical support needs.

Gallbladder or biliary surgery requiring diversion, rerouting, or bypass because routine cholecystectomy alone is not sufficient.

Perineal urethrostomy for recurrent or severe urethral obstruction, typically with concurrent cystotomy, stone management, and higher urinary surgery monitoring needs.

Surgery to correct a prolapsed urethra in a male dog, typically by removing the affected tissue and securing the urethral mucosa, often combined with castration.

Airway correction with a care plan chosen before surgery using clinical assessment and BRisk findings. Both packages usually involve two to three hours of staffed recovery. BRisk informs the assessment; it does not automatically assign a pricing tier.

Airway correction with a care plan chosen before surgery using clinical assessment and BRisk findings. Both packages usually involve two to three hours of staffed recovery. The enhanced package accounts for greater anticipated perioperative work. High-flow nasal oxygen is reserved for selected very-high-risk cases, planned near the upper end of this range. BRisk informs the assessment; it does not automatically assign a pricing tier.

Surgical treatment of salivary sialocele, typically involving mandibular-sublingual gland removal and regional dissection. Preoperative CT is required. This package applies when CT has already been completed elsewhere or as prior diagnostics; CT and its report are not charged again within this package.

Unilateral perineal hernia repair using internal obturator muscle transposition.

Abdominal stabilization procedure performed as the initial stage of complicated or staged perineal hernia management, using colopexy and/or cystopexy when indicated.

Repair of both sides with routine internal obturator muscle transposition. A recurrent hernia is assessed according to the reconstruction anticipated, rather than automatically assigned this bilateral package.

Removal of an intestinal segment with surgical reconnection, for a nonseptic patient undergoing a single abdominal procedure with routine aftercare.

Dr Wood selects the package before surgery using presentation, available blood results, response to initial treatment and anticipated care needs. The operation may be similar between packages; the enhanced package allows for greater anticipated care needs.
