Pediatric or early spay/neuter (ESN) refers to spaying or neutering pets at a much earlier age than the old six month standard.

Cliberdoodle has throughly researched ESN and our vet is very experienced in this type of surgery. ESN is a quick, simple surgery with a fast recovery because their "parts" are still small. The puppies are acting "back to normal" by the evening of their surgery.

With today's anesthetics, advanced monitoring equipment, and surgical techniques, not only are these procedures safe in young puppies and kittens, the risk of complications is lower and the recovery period shorter. Concerns about adverse affects have been proven unfounded. The American Veterinary Medical Association, Association of Spay/Neuter Veterinarians, and the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia, are among those that support ESN.

For more information on ESN, please visit the Columbus Dog Connection.

Cliberdoodle puppies have their ESN surgery at 7 weeks of age -- they recover at our home and are ready to go home with you at 8 weeks of age. ESN is included in the price of your puppy. See our complete price list.
