Animal Smiley 019 Ok tell me if you think it's better to spay before or after a first heat....

Lulu is four months old now and I spoke to the vet re: spaying. I asked if he thought it was best before or after the first heat. He said he feels that right after the first heat so they have a chance to mature and that it's good for them to have one heat and then do it. He feels that the release of the first set of hormal influx is good to I guess sort of finalize changes that are going on in their bodies and as part of their growth pattern. He was talking about a study about doing the spaying/neutering too early and the negative impact in relation to humane societies doing it when the pups are under four months.

Well so to make a long question short what do you think is best? What information have you gotten from your vet either way?

Thanks.
