how old does my dog have to be to get neutered?

Question

I have 2 Schnoodles (schonzer Poodles) and they fight all the time! And I was needing to know age they had to be before I could get them neutered?

Thanx for your time

Answer 1

Hi there. To control aggression issues, you should get the dogs neutered (this is assuming they're male dogs! It's a different time period for females) between 6-9 months.

If you get them neutered after 2 years, the hormones will have done their job and neutering will be almost pointless.

Remember, in females, spaying them can sometimes increase aggression.

Talk to your vet.

Good luck!

Answer 2

The best time to get a male dog neutered is right after the testicles drop down, 4-6 months, although many vets won't do the surgery before they're 6 months old.

Answer 3

I think its about 4 months but remember to spay them before they reach 6 months, because after 6 months some tend to go in heat. The longer you wait especially after 6 months the more expensive it is at the vet.

Answer 4

6 months

Answer 5

Any time from 4 months old on. The average for most vets is 6 months old.

Answer 6

Pediatric spays/neuters can be done as early as 6-8 weeks, but most are performed around six months of age.

My vet will do them at 6 months....the recommend waiting until then b/c they are out of the puppy stage.

As soon as the testicles have dropped, the dog can be neutered.
