SpayToday, NeuterNow! is a non-profit animal hospital that performs about 300 spay and neuter surgeries for dogs, cats, and rabbits each week. We order most of our supplies online, which means we have a carload of boxes and paper to recycle every week. Help us keep our services affordable and protect the environment by delivering our sorted recyclables to the Lakewood Recycling Center (near Rt 6 and Simms). All you have to do is come by the clinic once or twice a week, load the sorted recyclables in your car, and drop them in the appropriate containers at the center. Both the clinic and the recycling center are open Sunday-Friday from 7a-5p, so you can make your own schedule!

Mission Statement
SpayToday Healthy Pet Center is committed to honoring the human-animal bond through access to high-quality, affordable basic veterinary care for all pet owners.
Description
SpayToday Healthy Pet Center started as SpayToday, NeuterNow! in 2009 in Lakewood. Since then our organization has grown substantially and we have spayed and neutered over 70,000 cats, dogs and rabbits. Around 60% of our patients are owned and the other 40% are rescue and shelter pets looking for their forever families. We typically perform 25-45 spay and neuter surgeries each day.
Our main goal is to make sure basic veterinary care like spay, neuter, vaccinations and microchips is accessible and affordable to all pet owners. This goal supports our mission of honoring the human-animal bond by ensuring pet owners do not need to choose between healthcare for their pets and their own basic needs. Preventative veterinary care keeps pets healthy and with their families who love them. Spaying and neutering is also the best solution to pet overpopulation and reducing the number of homeless animals.
One of our most impactful programs is the Healthy Paws voucher program, which helps pet owners experiencing financial hardship access free veterinary care for their pets. Vouchers are distributed through human service and animal welfare community partners to identified owners in need and redeemed at our clinic. We perform over 500 free spay and neuter surgeries each year.
In 2019 SpayToday was recognized as the West Metro Chamber Nonprofit of the Year for our work in the community. Our medical director is a member of the Colorado State Board of Veterinary Medicine.
