Dr. Liu is highly skilled in many surgeries. Although a wide variety of surgeries are available, Dr. Liu does NOT perform ear cropping or tail docking. Surgeries are performed Monday through Friday. Some of those surgeries include spays, neuters, lumpectomies, ear hematoma repair, ear flushing, surgical tooth extractions and more. All animals are strictly monitored by the doctor and a skilled assistant while under anesthesia. Although discouraged, Dr. Liu does performs declaw surgeries for cats (front paws only). For all of these surgeries (except declaws) the animals go home the same evening! or more details on surgery and your pet, send us an e-mail at carmelvalleypetclinic@yahoo.com or give us a call and we will be more than happy to answer your questions!

Carmel Valley Pet Clinic has two different kinds of x-rays for diagnosing purposes. There is a traditional x-ray in-house used for everything from possible broken bones, obstructions (due to tennis balls, socks or anything else pets typically get into), urinary blockage, chest x-rays, cancer screening and much more. We also have a highly specialized dental x-ray machine, which is used during dental procedures, surgical tooth extractions, oral abscesses and more.

We offer limited grooming here at Carmel Valley Pet Clinic. We do everything from simple nail trims to full body shaves. Our dog baths always include a Capstar pill (to kill fleas and prevent fleas from spreading in our clinic), ear cleaning, nail trim, anal gland expression, bath with oatmeal and aloe shampoo and cream rinse, heated drying and very thorough brushing. Cat baths include a Capstar pill, ear cleaning, and nail trim, bath, dry and brushing. We always recommend that pet owners follow up a bath by using FRONTLINE PLUS on their pet to prevent fleas and ticks. An appointment is highly recommended for any grooming. All grooming appointments should arrive prior to 10:00am so the animal has time to dry and receive a good brushing!
