TPLO PREPARING FOR SURGERY GUIDE
Set Your Dog Up For Success Before Surgery Day
JUST DIAGNOSED? PREPARATION STARTS NOW.
Your veterinarian has just delivered the news: your dog needs TPLO surgery (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) for a torn cruciate ligament.
You likely have questions:
How do I prepare my home for post-surgery care?
What supplies will I need?
How can I mentally prepare myself and my dog?
What should I expect in those crucial first days?
The decisions you make BEFORE surgery can make recovery smoother, safer, and less stressful for both of you.
You are not alone...
If you're reading this, you've likely been told your dog has torn their cruciate ligament (similar to an ACL tear in humans). This news can be overwhelming, but you're not alone.
Over 1.2 million dogs undergo TPLO surgery each year in North America.
Many dog owners feel unprepared for the challenges of post-surgery care. That's why we've created this comprehensive preparation guide.
THE REALITY OF POST-SURGERY EXPECTATIONS
NO
JUMPING
NO
PLAYING
NO
STAIRS
LIMITED MOBILITY
But here's what they might not tell you:
Most dogs feel BETTER immediately after surgery once the damaged ligament has been addressed.
Your dog will think "My leg feels great now — I can run and play again!"
This false confidence is when injuries happen!
Without proper preparation, this improved feeling can lead to complications, failed surgeries, and expensive revisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon before surgery should I get this guide?
Ideally, at least 1-2 weeks before your scheduled surgery date. This gives you time to gather supplies and prepare your home, but the guide is valuable even if surgery is just days away.
Is this a replacement for my vet's instructions?
No. This guide complements your veterinarian's medical instructions with practical preparation advice they may not have time to cover in detail.
Will this work for other orthopedic surgeries besides TPLO?
Yes! While some details are TPLO-specific, the home preparation, supply checklists, and recovery space setup apply to most orthopedic surgeries.
Can I access the guide on my phone?
Absolutely. The guide is fully mobile-responsive and can be accessed on any device with internet access.
