I ask my pet owners to wait 18 months or longer to have spays or neuters done. For males, its not medically necessary for a neuter. For females, its vital to be spayed, if they are not planned and purposefully bred, to keep pyometra from occurring. Hormones that are created by maturation of the s*x organs create healthier dogs and that's why we ask to wait for their full development, prior to surgical intervention.
