| Spaying after pregnancy When can I spay Bella? I know after she weans the puppies but does it matter how long after that? We are keeping a puppy and will have him neutered how old is the best suggested time for him? |

| You want to have it done as soon as possible after she weans. She can come right back into heat. I have my puppies spayed and neutered at 12 weeks providing that they weigh atleast 2 lbs. Otherwise I wait until they are older.

| I think waiting until the pups are 12 weeks would be a good time to have the momma spayed. I do not believe in spaying and neutering at a very young age. Everyone has there opinions and that is just mine. Here is a good article that explains long term health effects of spaying and neutering. |
