When Should I Have My Dog Neutered?

Neutering is a common and important procedure that can support your dog’s long-term health and well-being. In general, many dogs are neutered between six and twelve months of age, but the ideal timing can vary depending on breed, size, health, and behaviour.

Neutering can help reduce the risk of certain medical conditions and may decrease behaviours such as roaming or marking. Larger breeds may benefit from waiting longer to allow for proper growth and development, while smaller breeds are often neutered earlier. Your veterinarian will consider your dog’s individual needs and lifestyle when making a recommendation.
