| Best age to have a little boy neutered YT community. So what's the best age to have a little boy neutered. Right now he is almost 5 months and weighs 3.3 lbs. Also the vet wants to inoculate him for kennel cough before neutering. They say it's required. Is that necessary? Thanks.

| I usually think 6-7 months is a good age. Jackson was about 6 1/2 months old. Alot of Yorkies need baby teeth pulled and at this age, most that are gonna fall out on their own will have. You wanna get those removed while under for neuter. Bordatella is the vaccine for kennel cough and it's usually required if you board your dogs, or get them groomed, or bring them to dog parks, etc. Some people get it and some don't. Jackson actually had kennel cough last year before getting the vaccine and had to be put on a 10 day antibiotic. He just got the bordatella recently for this year since we frequent the dog park.

Vaccine Post w/ external links As for age, that's really debatable (and for a lot of different reasons too). Many people w/ yorkies will wait until they're sure that all teething is complete - bc when your baby is under anesthesia, this is also the time to remove all retained baby teeth.
