What kinds of surgery are done here?
The surgeries done at Petfolk Vintage Park are mostly soft-tissue procedures, the kind that don't involve bones or joints. Common ones are:
Removing lumps and skin growths, and sending tissue to a lab
Closing deep cuts and bite wounds
Draining and cleaning abscesses
Lumps lead the list. Across Petfolk, more than a third of dog surgeries (38%) were to remove a lump or mass, leaving out spays, neuters and dental work, from October 2025 through September 2026. About 7 in 10 surgery patients across Petfolk (69%) were dogs.
Does every lump need to come off?
No. Many lumps are harmless fatty growths. The vet often starts with a needle sample, a quick test where a few cells are drawn out and checked. That result helps decide whether to watch the lump, remove it now, or remove it with wider edges. A lump that grows fast, changes shape or bleeds should be checked soon.
Is my older dog safe to have surgery?
Age alone isn't a reason to skip surgery. At Petfolk's Houston-area clinics, the typical dog having surgery (leaving out spays, neuters and dental work) was about 7 and a half years old. The vet checks the heart, lungs and organs first, and may suggest blood work in Vintage Park before anesthesia. About 1 in 5 surgery patients at Petfolk's Houston-area clinics (18%) had blood work the same day.
How the surgery day goes
Fasting the night before, as the team tells you.
Check-in and a last exam. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.
General anesthesia with monitoring throughout, plus pain medicine.
Pick-up the same day, with written steps, medicine and the date of the recheck.
The team uses Fear Free, gentle handling from check-in to wake-up. If your pet gets nervous at the vet, tell the team when you book, and they'll plan the check-in around it.
Having lump removed next week great service so far

Healing at home
Keep your pet inside, cool and quiet for the first days, and leash walks only until the recheck. Keep the incision clean and dry, with no baths or swimming. The cone stays on, because licking is the most common reason stitches open.
A bit of swelling around the incision can be normal. An incision that opens, bleeding that won't stop, pale gums, or a pet that won't stand needs help right away. Call the clinic, or go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as BluePearl Pet Hospital on Spring Cypress Rd in Spring.
What does surgery cost?
Surgery costs depend on the procedure, how long it takes, your pet's size, and whether tissue goes to a lab. A sick exam to look at the problem starts at $135 at Petfolk Vintage Park, and the vet writes a full surgery estimate before you decide.
