A male dog can be neutered any time after eight weeks of age. A few years ago, most veterinarians advised waiting until puberty hit at about six months, and some still make that recommendation. Talk to your veterinarian about whatâs best for your dog.
In general, dogs neutered before they go into puberty grow a bit bigger than those neutered after puberty because testosterone is involved in bone growth; sometimes that growth is preferable and sometimes itâs not. Most dogs are sexually mature by the age of five or six months (the blink of an eye). If your dogâs testicles donât descend, you still need to have him neutered. These dogs tend to have more testicular tumors than normal dogs.
