Often, the spay and neuter take place at a very young age for pets. However, studies have shown that this may not be the best age.

Interestingly though, different breeds and different sized dogs
mature at different ages, which means that early spay/neuter may not be bad for all dogs. The wide margin of maturation of dogs varies considerably, as toy breed dogs mature sexually as early as six to nine months of age whereas large and giant breeds may mature as late as 16-18 months of age. The end conclusion is that generally, the larger breeds had possibly more to risk in future health conditions in than small or toy breeds of dogs due to early spaying or neutering since they mature at a later age.

It is a procedure that most dog owners are familiar with, or at least aware of – that of neutering your pet. Neutering is the process of removing some or all of an animal’s reproductive tract; namely the testicles in male dogs and the uterus and ovaries in females. For both sexes, neutering...

So when should you spay a dog?
In short, it depends. Historically, it was advised to spay shortly after 6 months of age, timing the surgery for 3-4 months after a season (often their first). Now it appears the decision is not as clear cut as that; with various elements needing to be taken into consideration.
Probably the most concerning finding is the suspected increased risk of certain cancers or orthopaedic diseases in some large breeds (specifically
Golden Retrievers,
Labrador Retrievers and
German Shepherds) when neutered at this traditional age. Although research is ongoing, many practitioners are now suggesting to spay larger breeds closer to, or after, one year of age. This needs to be weighed up against potentially losing the benefit of earlier spaying on the reduction in the risk of mammary cancer development. And the risk of the dog becoming pregnant, and so would always involve a discussion with your vet.
