Dog Neutering

If you are not planning on breeding from your pet, neutering at a relatively young age can be beneficial both behaviourally and for physical health later in life.

Terms used:

Castration for male dogs
Spaying for female (bitch)

We generally recommend:

Castration from 6 months of age.
Spaying approximately 3 months after her first season. However, we can spay females before their first season.

Your vet will be happy to explain in more detail and make recommendations for your individual pet.
