What age to get puppy fixed?
I'm just curious to see, how old was everyones pup when you got them spayed or nuetured?

Personally I wouldn't have a puppy spayed or neutered before they were at least 6 months old. A lot of breeders recommend waiting until they're closer to a year.

Noodles was just over 6 months when he was neutered.

My vet said wait until at least 6 months old so that's what I'm doing. In January or February, it's snip snip.

I got Kali spayed about a week after she turned six months old. She did just fine, stiches are out and she is back to her normal,happy self.

Our vet said before six months because at six months she could go into heat. Milly was just shy of the six month mark.

Ein got nuetured between 6-7 months. Most dogs get it done around that time. Just make sure to get a good vet.

We had Cody neutered at 8 months. He did very well and has not seemed to have any adverse effects.

We've decided to wait until 1 year just to make sure everything develops properly structurally. Most agility trainers recommend 1 year and after Aber's back problems, I'm now nervous to do another one at 6 months. They do recover more quickly the earlier they're done, but I'm convinced waiting is better--unless you get behavioral issues like spraying or aggression or humping--just because the sex hormones do have something to do with the dog's overall development physically.
