Soft Tissue Surgery Dubai
Soft Tissue Surgery
We specialize in soft tissue surgery for dogs and cats, delivering precise, compassionate, and up-to-the-mark surgical care. Our expertise and consistently successful outcomes have made us a trusted choice among pet owners and veterinary professionals alike. We are proud to receive a high number of referrals, reflecting the confidence placed in our quality of work and surgical excellence.
When Is Soft Tissue Surgery Recommended for Pets?
We recommend soft tissue surgery when pets develop conditions involving the skin, organs, or internal tissues that cannot be managed with medication alone. As a veterinary team, we commonly perform these procedures for tumors, wounds, digestive issues, and reproductive conditions. Our goal is to provide timely soft tissue surgery for dogs and cats to relieve pain, prevent complications, and help pets return to a healthy, comfortable life.
Conditions Treated with Soft Tissue Surgery
Corrective Surgery for BOAS
This procedure corrects airway abnormalities commonly found in flat-faced dog and cat breeds, improving airflow and breathing comfort. It helps pets better tolerate exercise, heat, and humidity while reducing respiratory stress and related complications. At Pet First Veterinary Clinic, we are proud to be an IPATA-certified BOAS Vet Assessor, ensuring accurate assessment and gold-standard surgical care for affected pets.
Reconstructive Surgery
Following severe trauma such as road accidents, burns, or falls, reconstructive surgery helps restore both function and appearance. Our veterinary team uses advanced techniques to repair skin, corneal, and soft tissue damage, supporting optimal healing and recovery.
Wound & Abscess Surgery
Infected, traumatic, or non-healing wounds often require surgical intervention to prevent complications. Through careful cleaning, drainage, and closure, we promote effective healing while minimizing the risk of recurring infection.
Tumor and Mass Removal
Abnormal growths affecting the skin or internal tissues may need surgical removal to relieve discomfort and prevent disease progression. Early intervention also allows for accurate diagnosis and improved long-term outcomes.
Gastrointestinal Soft Tissue Surgery
Conditions such as foreign body ingestion or intestinal obstruction can severely affect digestive health. Surgical treatment restores normal gastrointestinal function and helps prevent life-threatening complications.
Urogenital Soft Tissue Surgery
Disorders of the urinary and reproductive systems can cause significant pain and discomfort if left untreated. Surgical care is aimed at restoring normal function while reducing the likelihood of future issues.
Hernia Repair Surgery
Defects in the abdominal wall may allow organs or tissue to protrude abnormally, leading to discomfort and risk. Surgical repair strengthens the affected area and ensures lasting stability and comfort.

We then carefully plan the procedure, explain the expected outcomes and aftercare, and prepare a tailored anesthesia and pain-management protocol to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort from the start.
During the Procedure
During surgery, your pet is continuously monitored while our veterinary surgeons perform the procedure using advanced techniques and strict sterile protocols. Precision, safety, and effective pain control remain our priority throughout the operation.
After the Procedure
Following surgery, we closely supervise your pet’s recovery and manage post-operative pain to support comfort and healing. Clear aftercare instructions and follow-up guidance are provided to help ensure a smooth and successful recovery at home.

Our dog Mishka was admitted to Pet First Vet in a critical condition and required immediate medical care. Dr. Alexandra led the case with clear judgment, strong medical expertise, and consistent involvement, including regular follow-ups and communication outside clinic hours. Her level of training and professionalism created a strong sense of trust throughout the process. She is also overseeing the care of one of our other dogs, Masaki, to the same high standard.

Forever grateful 🙏Posted on Google Bassel Nasr Dr. Alexandra is true hero. Our husky Mishka was brought to Pet First Vet in a critical state, and she immediately took full responsibility for his care. She made the right decisions at the right time and stayed involved even when she wasn’t physically in the clinic, constantly checking in and updating us. Her professionalism, deep medical knowledge, and calm presence made me feel safe during one of the hardest moments we’ve faced. She is also caring for our other dog, Masaki, with the same attention and kindness. Pet First Vet is an outstanding clinic. It’s modern, calm, and extremely well run. Dr. Diana, Dr. Ansar, and Dr. Nikolai were excellent and the love that shinned from the videos they sent me with Mishka was so heart warming. Mark, who stayed up nights to keep Mishka alive and stable before surgery, is someone we’ll always be grateful to. The updates and videos made us feel fully supported. We have four dogs, and this is without question the best veterinary clinic we’ve experienced in Dubai.Posted on Google Elena Petruta Great experience , great vets and staffPosted on Google Farhan Humayun Dr Diana is the best amazing & also all staff is friendy and nice ambience.Posted on Google J&R Anasamed This is honestly the best vet clinic in Dubai. We’ve been to so many vets for our cats and bunnies, and most of them feel like a bit of a factory , always overbooked, rushing patients in and out. This place is completely different. The building is big, parking is easy, and the clinic itself is really spacious. They don’t overbook, so the doctors and nurses actually seem relaxed and genuinely happy to be there. You can tell they love what they do. They’re not the cheapest, but for the level of care and service, the prices are very reasonable. And the best part of all is Dr. Diana. She honestly feels like an angel sent to our family. I’ve never met anyone with such genuine empathy and care. She truly wants your pet to get better, checks up on them regularly, and always manages to comfort us as well. I recommend Pet Vet and especially Dr. Diana, with all my heart.Posted on Google Thejus sunny This is honestly our favourite vet out of all the ones we’ve been to. We love how quiet and spacious the clinic is, and the best part is that there’s literally no waiting time. They are very punctual and extremely organized. Moreover, Dr. Diana has been our favourite doctor to go to, she’s pretty much our family doctor for our cats. She is the kindest and most honest vet we’ve ever met. She only recommends the tests that are truly necessary and never tries to burden you with unnecessary costs. She works with so much care, love, and empathy, not only towards our cats but also towards us. Our senior boy was diagnosed with CKD stage 3, and we previously had a terrible experience with another doctor who made his levels so much worse that he ended up in critical condition. We genuinely thought it was the end. But then we met Dr. Diana, and it felt like God sent her to us. Because of her, our little boy lived another six months with such remarkable improvement, even the doctors were shocked. We still continue to go to her for our 13-year-old senior cat, and we trust her completely and it’s always such a stress free experience for us and our cats when we got to her. We couldn’t recommend her enough. She is truly the best vet we have ever worked with ❤️Posted on Google Nebula Karkada
