Spay

Post by zxs107020 »

Can anyone recommend a good age at which to have the dog spayed? Why?

I am asking because I was planning to get my dog spayed at 5 months old, but I read an article on a breeders website about how there are health risks to early spay- the article recommended waiting until ~18 months, which I was under the impression is way too long to wait.

Any opinions?

I can understand that it is healthier. What's the best way to deal with her flow? Is she an indoor dog? Do you have neutered males? Mine are neutered. I would like more information please.
