spaying prevents ovarian cancer, breast cancer, pyometras and some other things. its best to get them spayed at 6 months so their chance of getting cancer doesn't increase. its very sad when we have to do surgery on an animal later in life when its harder on then when it could have been prevented at a very young age. a spay on an older dog who's developed cancer or a pyo is very hard on them and more complicated.
