We recommend that both dogs and bitches are neutered after the age of 6 months. Not only does this prevent unwanted pregnancies, it also has several health benefits to your pets.
Neutering males can reduce the likelihood of testicular tumours, prostate problems and anal adenomas.
Neutering females at an early age can reduce mammary gland problems and prevent serious uterine infections in later life.

Neutering your pet should not change their personality but it can reduce any aggressive tendencies that may exist. In males it may also reduce the tendency to wander off.
It is not necessary for a bitch to have a season before neutering. However bitches that are only 6 months old should be checked by a vet before the neutering operation to ensure that they are physically mature enough.
