I am always for going minimal on the vaccines. |
I agree, for all the reasons mentioned. "Evidenced based research" (I am HUGE on research that has been done and has data to back up theory!) is now showing it is indeed best to wait until after the first heat....but before 2 years old...Progesterone is brutal on ladies that have NOT been bred and CAN cause issues after two years old! I recommend 8 months to a year old....at a year, you can get retained baby teeth, quick dental, and spay at the same time.....then your are done for a year!
