Your vet in my opinion is on top of the latest research. Listen to them. If you like, you can go on here and look up threads I have posted about this very self same subject with links to research articles et al.
Just make very very sure, you know how to a)recognize when heat begins, and b) keep her very very safe over her first heat. Ask the vet for the signs, and start having an eagle eye on your gal around about 6months old and on.
