Did you know that we have been part of this community since 1986?
Founded by veterinary Surgeon Dr. Kenneth Sinibaldi, ASOC was one of the first exclusively surgical practices in the region. It has grown over the years and can now be found at its current location in Shoreline — a modern, well-equipped facility with eight exam rooms and five state-of-the-art surgical suites. It has since become co-owned by four of the five board-certified surgeons, who have over 75 years of combined experience. They're accompanied by a professional support staff of licensed veterinary technicians, assistants and administrators, all dedicated to providing the very best medical care and customer service.
Our beloved Cashew had her TPLO surgery!
This is no easy feat for a pup who has struggled with anxiety, so we created a cozy retreat for her in a quiet room with calming music and to help her relax and recover. 🌟
Providing a calm environment for recovery is essential for promoting physical healing, managing pain, supporting mental well-being, and minimizing the risk of complications. It demonstrates our commitment to the well-being of our furry companions during their time of need.
Let's send her all the love and positive vibes for a speedy and smooth recovery! 💖
Referral Coordinator by title, Surgical Shadow by choice! 🌟
Ellie traded paperwork for paws-on experience and swapped the stationary for scrubs! Learning, laughing and expanding her skills - who says work can't be fun!? 🩹💙
🐾 Today marked a momentous occasion at our clinic! 🐶💼 Patient Izzy, our Lab extraordinaire, engaged in a crucial nose-to-nose meeting with none other than our Assistant Manager Izzy. 👃🤝 Sparks were flying, tails were wagging, and important doggy business was discussed.
Both parties agreed not only to "Make Fetch Happen" but that any changes to the clinic treats must be approved by Izzy... the Lab. 🦴😋
We believe that a strong human-animal bond is at the heart of quality surgical care. Our dedicated team not only cares for your pets but also cherishes the special relationship you share.❤️🐶🐱
🐾 Prioritizing the health and happiness of our beloved pets is at the forefront of our mission! ❤️
Picture this: unforeseen accidents or health concerns can emerge when least expected. This is where pet insurance becomes a true lifesaver! 💙
Meet Daisy – she fearlessly took a leap from a second-story deck, leading to an unfortunate elbow fracture. At a tender age of 4 months, this resilient little one underwent a successful surgery and is now on the road to recovery!🩹
🐾 Manager's Right Paw: Labrador Edition! 🐶💼

🐾 Comfort is Key: Ensuring Paws-itive Recovery! 🩹🐾
Orthopedic procedures can be challenging, but a stress-free recovery is essential for a speedy and successful healing journey. Here's why:
1️⃣ Optimal Healing: A calm environment promotes faster recovery by reducing stress hormones that may interfere with the healing process. 🌿
2️⃣ Mobility Matters: Keeping our pets relaxed aids in regaining mobility. Comfort encourages them to engage in gentle movements, supporting joint flexibility. 🐾
3️⃣ Mental Well-being: Pets, like us, experience stress. A serene recovery helps maintain their mental well-being, ensuring a happy and content post-surgery period. 🧡
Tips for a Relaxing Recovery:
- Create a cozy, quiet space for your pet.
- Use soft bedding for comfort.
- Administer prescribed pain medications as directed.
- is a great resource for relaxing TV for your pets!

🐾 Did you know that our beloved feline friends can face orthopedic issues too? Just like us, cats can experience bone and joint challenges that might affect their agility and comfort. 🐾

Bailey just got his PhD in Boopology! This furry genius has a heart as big as his enthusiasm for people!
👉Bailey's skills include:
1️⃣ Tail wags with the best swish

🐾Our dear Salvador. Sal. Salamander. Sally. 🌈
A pillar of our team. A soul that could connect like no other. We feel so lucky to have spent 12 years in your life and to have been loved so truly by you.
To say goodbye felt surreal. Like goodbye was not the conversation being had. Like we were going to see you the next day, sniffing for any scraps on the floor and drooling on our knees.
In memory of Sal, let's celebrate the lessons he leaves behind:
1️⃣ Unconditional Love: Sal taught us the power of unconditional love. Whether you had a bad day or a great one, Sal was there with a wagging tail and open heart, showing us the beauty of pure affection.
2️⃣ Live in the Present: Sal's zest for life (and food!) was contagious. He lived in the moment, finding joy in simple pleasures like the sound of a snack falling to the ground or a walk in the park. Let's learn from him to appreciate the present and find happiness in the little things.
3️⃣ Bring People Together: Sal had a magical ability to bring people together. His friendly demeanor and genuine affection created bonds that crossed boundaries and generations! Let's follow his example by fostering connections, spreading love, and making our community a warmer place.
With Eternal Love,
Everyone at Animal Surgical &

Roscoe is one of many patients we see for Cranial Cruciate Ligament tears. They are among one of the most common orthopedic injury we see in canines. A TPLO is often recommended for medium to large-breed dogs as well as canine athletes, as it restores them closer to normal function. Which Roscoe is showing beautifully. All our surgeons are board-certified, all our technicians are highly skilled and knowledgeable and our customer service is second to none, so we can provide our patients with the very best expertise and surgical care. #tplosurgery #tplo #vetmed #avma #acvs #vettech #dvm #asoc #orthovet #vetvisit #ccl #seattledogs #seattlebusiness #dogmum #pitmix #staffie #pittielove
