Oh you have plenty of time, first, the balls have to drop! I think around 6-8 months is ideal, by then, the adult teeth are in and vet can remove any remaining baby teeth, and they are still to young to mark. If you do it too young the adult teeth are in and vet can pull all the baby teeth, so it means you have to come back later for a second operation. Joey had a check up a month before the operation, to be sure everything was in order the balls had dropped and there were enough adult teeth in place. Let your vet help you decide.
