How old should you neuter your pup?

I have a 5 month old yellow lab puppy. I've heard you should get your dog neutered before 6 months and I've also heard 6-9 months. What is the correct age to have this done?

right at 6 months.

6-9 months definitely. I volunteer at an animal shelter and we never have it done before 6 months.

I would think about a year old or there abouts..

Now is fine, but if you have questions, talk to your dog's breeder. What does your contract state?

I'd have them done about 6 months old, before they get into bad habits of adults.

6 mo

at 5-6 months don't wait to long

Females before the first heat. I would think when the dog is a few months old but best to check with the vet.

Poor puppy, he probably doesn't want to lose his sexual abilities.But yes, around 6 months is the correct time, however think carefully upon if you want to do this, not all owners do, and it is known to cause severe changes in the personality of your dog.Best of luck with your new puppy.- Del.

Never have it done before 6 months. Wait a month and have it done then.Dr. Dog

From 6 months to 2 years, depending on breed, what you are going to do with the dog, and your ability to handle an intact dog. So, for 99% of dog owners, 6 months.

def 6 months.if you wait longer,he could develop some bad male habits.

6 months

You should have them neutered at the earliest possible age in order to prevent any aggressive male traits to arise in his behavior. Dogs can be neutered any time after 8 weeks, but should be neutered BEFORE 6 months because that is when they hit puberty and the dominant male traits will start to form.I would have neutered the dog a while ago, but it's not too late! Go make an appointment with your vet ASAP!

Some people say six months, some people say one year. If you've got your heart set on neutering him, then I would wait a year: it has allowed him to develop normally.And no, un-neutered males don't mark in the house, roam, or start fights.

You should wait until your dod has lost the baby teeth about 6 to 9 months When you neuter them it changes their estrogen so wait till the baby teeth are out and then get it done be careful to watch is it comes into heat before that it is not near any other dog,Thank god you are going to neuter there are enough dogs out there to be adoptedbest to you and your new puppy

before your puppy turns 1 yrs old..

NEVER :|How could you do suck a thing!Its like cutting off a real mans dinky!Shame on you

Go get your dog a check up and when your there ask your vet and CONGRATULATIONS on neutering your pup instead of being a back yard breeder THANKS
