I've heard the younger a dog is, the better chance of being incontinent. I adopted a pup from the Humane Society and she was already spayed at 8 weeks of age, and she can hold her urine for an eternity. My other dogs were spayed around 6 months of age, and I've never had a problem. I guess it depends on the vet who does the spaying procedure. Good luck.

It depends on how young and small she is, and if it is a good Vet. I would NOT take her for an assembly line spay like they do at the HS's or ASPCA.
To the other posters - spay incontinence is not uncommon

2 of my girls have been spayed for several years now and at ages 6 and 8 neither is having any problems with incontinence.

should be virtually nil if she is old enough when spayed. In all my years keeping spayed b1tches I have never had one incontinent but they were all spayed no sooner than after their first season as per normal in the UK.

Well I never got incontinent after spaying my dog, however I do know how to punctuate.

I have never seen one become unable to hold her urine after a spay.

Ian kindly refrained from mentioning 'spelling'.
Mine had a hysterectomy. She's still continent.

I'm not sure where you've gotten this idea... spaying doesn't involve the urinary tract at all...

It hasn't happened with any of my dogs.
