Cat Perineal Urethrostomy Surgery
Located in Harrisonburg, VA. Schedule an appointment today!
Male cats are more prone to urethral obstructions due to their anatomy. Unlike females, whose urethra is shorter and maintains a consistent diameter, male cats have a longer urethra that narrows as it enters the penis, making blockages more likely. Perineal urethrostomy (PU) surgery can help prevent future obstructions. At Anicira Harrisonburg, the cost of PU surgery starts at $1634.
Additional Services at the Time of Surgery
During your pet’s surgical visit, we can also provide:
- Vaccinations
- Some diagnostic testing
- Microchipping ($39)
Pre-anesthetic blood work ($130) is available and may be required to help ensure your pet’s safety before surgery. We can accept blood work performed within the last month.

What Clients are Saying
They have been FANTASTIC to work with! My dog, Scout, had a dental and a neuter last week, and then whole process from setting up the appointment, talking about financial support options, to post-op emails has been seamless. 10/10 recommend this location for your fur babies.
Dr. Pedigo and Jessica saved Fizzy’s life. And I can’t thank them enough for everything they did.
Staff is so nice, caring and empathetic. Our emergency puppy situation ended up here for surgery 2 hours from home. They took great care of our girl, went above and beyond and communicated through whole process.
My dog, Jasper, had to have a dental cleaning and a fractured tooth removed. Everyone from the front desk staff to the techs and of course Dr. Pedigo were wonderful. They took great care of my boy. I am a vet tech myself and they took care of my boy just as thoroughly as I would myself ❤️.
A well-run organization. Everybody was friendly and helpful and I will definitely be back.

A perineal urethrostomy is a surgical procedure performed typically on male cats to help prevent urinary obstructions from occurring.
The urethra of a male cat narrows within the body which can lead to obstruction in the event of bladder stones, clots, or other obstructions.
During the procedure, the doctor will remove the narrowest part in order to allow for easier urination.
