Vets are all different too. My vet wont spay until the pups are at least 6 months old. Some vets have a weight limit. Some wait until the pet goes into their first heat....I have seen contracts that say you have 6 months to get the spayed, I have seen some demand sooner. This is to prevent the person from breeding them during their first heat (as some sick people do).
