When to Spay your DOG? Dr. Dan explains.

Hi everyone! My name is Dan, and I am a veterinarian. Today I am talking about spaying your dog. When should you spay your dog. There is a lot of disagreement about when to spay a dog.

The big question is do you wait a heat cycle or two before spaying. There is not a clear cut answer. The reasons to spay before the first heat cycle are all medical. There is a study that talks about reducing mammary or breast cancer in the female dog. Veterinarians believe that if a dog is spayed before the first or second heat cycle there is a great reduction in the chances of mammary or breast cancer in the dog. Also, a veterinarian may want to spay earlier to prevent pyometra or an infected uterus which is common in the dog. With each heat cycle the chances of a pyometra or infected uterus does increase. As a veterinarian I have seen pyometra or an infected uterus during the first heat cycle. The reason a pet parent may want to wait a heat cycle is allow for the normal hormones to help develop the female dog. This will help the body mature with the progesterone spike and the estrogen changes from the heat cycle. Disclaimer: This video does not replace veterinary care.
