We pride ourselves on our spacious, clean and state of the art surgical suite and equipment.
Lateral suture stabilization, which we also perform, can be successful for smaller patients. However, for most dogs, a TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is consistently the best method of repair.
- "When compared with a TPLO surgery, Lameness reoccurs more often
following lateral suture repair; requiring further treatment or reoperation during the dog’s lifetime". * - "A recent study showed TPLO outcomes were always better than lateral
suture outcomes over any time period up to 1 year". * - "Later suture stabilization may result in increased progression of
radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) compared with TPLO." *
We have a successful history performing these TPLO surgeries here in our clinic and offer better pricing compared with other surgical centers and teaching hospitals in the area. We’re located on the Palouse, however clients routinely travel from the surrounding areas. We provide TPLO surgeries for Spokane, Coeur D'Alene, Seattle, Lewiston/Clarkston and Southern Idaho. Consider TPLO surgery with us; we’re worth the drive!

Braum was only 3 years old so we were looking at a long-lasting treatment option…
