I'm just really concerned about the studies that claim that spaying early might end up having more negative effects than benefits for the health of our furry friends.
Spaying before first heat drastically reduces the chances of pyometra and mammary cancer. And of course it eliminates the possibility of accidental pregnancy, which is a huge danger for small dogs.
