Best age to spay or neuter? - Page 5

Give her time to grow up. At least one year, ideally two years. She won't die of cancer one day because you waited for her to finish growing.

Nor will it cause the earth to stop spinning or the sun to stop rising if you wait and spay later.

I am of the opinion that hormones are for more than reproduction. If I am going to spay, it is AFTER they have reached maturity.

My girl is 2 years now and I am only just considering neutering her. I am so happy I didnt take vets advice and get her done as a puppy. She hs matured beutifully with each season - was quite a difficult puppy - so this has made a massive difference to her concentration levels, training and our relationship. I initially held off neutering because I wanted her to be physically mature (lots of research indicate much healthier choice) but it has been the emotional maturity which has benefited us both.

they say 6 months before they go into heat is best to spay or nuter them. If your not planing on bredding i would do it very soon or you will have watch when she goes in heat.
