When to get puppy spayed?
I have taken my Goldendoodle puppy to the vet three times and she has seen two vets. Both basically recommended that it’s my choice to when I want to get her spayed. The earliest they do it is 6 months at my vet. Or they said I could wait until she gets her first period. I’ve called again recently and keep getting the same answer, that it’s my choice. Is this normal from a vet? Should I take my pup to a different vet for recommendations?
Ive had pets before but this is the first time ive had a puppy. I was hoping my vet would be more helpful to make this decision easier for me. I got my puppy at 3 months from another family who had to rehome her. She will be 6 months in two weeks. My aunt actually has her brother (from the same litter) and she told me that she was told her dog would be about 60 pounds. So I assume my pup could be about the same. She’s currently around 30-35 pounds at almost 6 months. I read that it could benefit larger dogs to wait to get them spayed. Anyway, just curious if anyone had an advice or information. Or if it’s best I reach out to a different vet?
Appreciate any help! Apologies if this sort of question isn’t allowed.
