Can you spay a 6 week old puppy?

Spaying a puppy is a major surgery and should not be performed until the puppy is at least 6 months old, and preferably after her first heat. Spaying a puppy too early can lead to several health problems, including:

- Increased risk of urinary incontinence

- Increased risk of vaginal hyperplasia (enlargement of the vagina)

- Increased risk of mammary gland cancer

- Stunted growth

- Behavioral problems

If you are considering spaying your puppy, it is important to talk to your veterinarian about the best time to do so.
