according to author michele welton who has been a canine consultant for over 30 years the recommended time to spay is 9 12 & 15 months depending on their size when full grown. this is from her book "11 things you must do right to keep your dog healthy and happy". you can find her at www. yourpurebredpuppy. com
is 6 months the ideal age to spay a female dog? . i have a vizsla puppy that was just 6 months and my vet suggested that if i was going to have her spayed this would be the best time which we did earlier this week. . i also have two cats that caught a cold and i went to see another vet and mentioned the above to him. he told me in his opinion it was much too early to have had her spayed for a variety of reasons. now i'm wondering if i made a mistake?
