Spay & Neuter

Spay & Neuter

Are you curious about the right time to spay or neuter your pet? Pets can be spayed or neutered as young as twelve to sixteen weeks, however, recent research suggests that depending on the breed/size of your pet, that timing may differ. When you schedule your pet's appointment, we will help you determine the best timing.

Spaying and neutering surgical appointments are available with the mobile Passion Fur Paws team. Call us at 970-485-1916.

Benefits of Spaying or Neutering Your Animal:

• Removes heat cycles, which eliminates related bleeding, nervous behavior and whimpering
• Reduces risk of common cancers
• Minimizes anxious and aggressive behavior
• Reduces risk of unwanted pregnancies and health defects from unprecedented breeding

What Does it Mean to Spay or Neuter?

Spaying is the process of removing a female animal's reproductive organs. This procedure serves to eliminate bleeding, discomfort from heat periods and whimpering. It also reduces anxious behavior and prevents ovarian cancer. Here at Passion Fur Paws, we may perform an ovariohysterectomy (removal of uterus and ovaries) or an ovarioectomy (removal of ovaries only) depending on size, age and maturity of the patient.

Neutering is the process of removing a male animal's testes. This procedure serves to reduce aggressive and anxious behavior and prevents testicular cancer.

Studies show that spayed and neutered pets live 18 to 23 percent longer than those who are not.

We have an exceptional team of veterinary professionals who have extensive experience performing spay and neuter surgeries. To schedule your pet's procedure, please give us a call today!
