At Castro Valley Animal Hospital, we understand that seeing your beloved pet in pain is one of the most heart-wrenching experiences. As devoted pet parents ourselves, we know how essential it is to restore your pet’s mobility and bring back those joyful moments they cherish. That’s why we are proud to introduce our Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) service, a cutting-edge surgical procedure designed to provide lasting relief and a return to an active and fulfilling life.

Unleashing the Power of TPLO: A Pioneering Surgical Solution

TPLO is a revolutionary surgical technique specifically designed to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries in dogs. The CCL is equivalent to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in humans and is critical to maintaining the stability of the knee joint. When the CCL is injured, it can lead to severe pain, lameness, and limited mobility in our canine companions. TPLO offers an advanced solution to restore joint stability and eliminate discomfort, allowing your pet to get back on their paws in no time.
