At what age? At what age should I have my boy neutered? He is three months old today and I want to make sure to be prepared early. He is starting to "hump" (for lack of a nicer word) his stuffed animals and our feet. Is this just something he will do anyway? He is small- one pound 12 ounces last week when I weighed him. I am worried about anesthesia. Thanks for all the information you all have provided me already. It has made being a new mommy less scary since he is my first puppy. Thanks again! :thumbs up |
I am not sure about boys but Rosie did not get spayed until she was 7 or 8 months old. Boys may be able to get it done a little earlier but I am not sure. |
The general recommendation I've seen has been 5-6 months of age (most closer to 6 months) for neutering boys. Of course, it all depends on the weight and health of the pup. I know that some shelters will neuter at a very early age but its not generally recommended. |
I think for males 6 months is a perfect age. I had my male neutered at 6 months, and he stopped humping things almost immediately after. I am waiting to spay my female a bit longer because she is so small. She is 3 pounds and I want to wait until she gets a bit bigger. I'm thinking 8-9 months. |
