♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | no , not too young its the perfect age to be neutered , their little mouths are also ready to extract any unwanted teeth that could be a problem too

| That is the age all of mine were spayed/neutered. I also had their teeth checked for any retained puppy teeth. Pebbles had 2 removed, Doodlebug didn't need any and Bogey had one tooth removed. They were back to normal b behavior in no time at all.

| I think it's a good age. Hot Rod was 6 1/2 mos old. He had his baby teeth done at the same time. Good luck and let us know how he does.

with a 7-8lb dog you'll be fine so long as you have a good vet.
