As any cat owner will tell you, cats can do massive damage with their claws. Cats do not respond well to their human’s passionate entreaties to not sink their claws into the leather furniture or to resist swiping at the children with claws extended. Unless you like the shredded look of upholstery, cat owners are left with few resources. One option is to declaw your pets.

Some people may claim that declawing your cat is painful; but in our veterinary clinic in Simi Valley, where the procedure is legal, we have taken steps to ensure that the procedure is as painless as possible.

Declawing is Safe at Our Pet Hospital

The American Vet Hospital has been caring for your pets since 1988. We always strive to provide the newest technologies and treatments to your pets to ensure that they stay happy and healthy. This is why, when we declaw cats, we only use laser surgery. By utilizing state-of-the-art laser surgery, we can make the declawing procedure safe and comfortable for the pet.

We also use the most modern anesthetic process, and your cat is constantly monitored before, during and after the procedure. We then provide your cat with the proper pain medications to ensure that their recovery is swift and pain-free. Our veterinarian can discuss the full procedure with you if you are considering it for your cat.

Laser surgery has the advantage of being less invasive and the recovery times are much faster. Laser surgery allows the veterinarian to be much more precise, resulting in far less scarring and scar tissue. Complications arising from the surgery are also far less common than with traditional surgical methods.

Whether you need boarding services, vaccinations or check-ups or emergency services at our pet hospital or if you want to talk to a Simi Valley vet about declawing your cat, we are committed to providing you and your pet with the very best service and high-quality care.
