When can a dogs first heat be2007-11-25 2:54:04

Can someone tell me when a dog's first heat can be and what age should i get a dog spayed?

Answers:

In domestic dogs, sexual maturity (puberty) begins to happen around age 6 to 12 months for both males and females, although this can be delayed until up to two years old for some large breeds.

most places wont fix an animal until 6 months. thats usually around the time of the first heat also.

---

6 to 8 months and anytime after 6 months

---

My Basset Hound went into heat at 4 1/2 months. And yes they do spay females before 6 months old.

Normally approx 6-7 months, but they can come into season anytime between 5-14 mos or so the first time. You can get her spayed now.. No time like the present!

---

Once they are about 10 weeks you can get her spayed. It is better to get them spayed before they have a first heat. For toy breeds the vet will wait until they are a certain weight. The vet will know when it is ok to do it.

---

You can technically get a dog spayed when they reach 2 pounds, but most places reccomend about 6 mos. If you want to avoid her going into heat, before 6 mos would be best.

I have a 4 month old puppy and the vet said she would need to be neutered at 6 months so I would assume around that time.
