My wife and I always try to have our kitties spayed and/or nutered around the 12 week age, our spay and nuter clinic says this way they have a little more weight on them and can handle the surgery better.
I have been a breeder for over 30 tears ..I have been doing early spay/neuter for over 10 years on 8 week old standard poodle puppies between 8 and 10 pounds .. I absolutly reccomend getting it done at this age ,#1 as a reputable breeder I have a 100% garantee that my babies won’t end up in a puppy mill ,#2 they recooperate so fast by the time I pick them up ( same day ) they are running all over as if nothing has been done to them . # 3.. I know my girls wont have breast cancer , # 4 my boys will not hump ,
get cancer or lift there legs on everything to mark .. most of them peeing like a female so they dont kill all your outdoor plants and flowers you worked so hard to plant … I can say in my experience
of getting this done for over ten years on an average of 30 puppies a year and have had no side effects .. I am still in contact with owners of my dogs that are 10 years old and are in very good health ..
