| When is a safe time to spayed a puppy? Hi guys. I need some advice. I was asked what is the safest month to spayed a puppy. I always thought that you were suppose to let them go thru a heat cycle (sounds like a dryer. LOL ) for the release of the hormones and such..... The person asking me said their vet told her to spayed her puppy at 4 months old. Isnt that too young? Do you think it is better to wait till they went thru a heat first?? Breeders give me your feedback please. |

| While I am not a breeder, i can tell you that its best to spay before the first heat cycle. It cuts the dog's risk of breast cancer by 90% or more. I've had all my dogs and fosters done before 6 mnths (usually at 4 mnths) and they all have been fine.
