This is a judgement call that you will have to make for yourself. On one hand, a 13-year old dog can become pregnant, which presents a challenge for what to do with the puppies. On the other hand, at 13 years old there is no preventive health reason to spay the dog - her risk of mammary and uterine cancer are already fixed and not likely to change at this point.
However, if your dog has been diagnosed with Diabetes or Cushing's disease, she should absolutely be spayed immediately. The hormone fluctuations associated with a cycling female make controlling both of these diseases almost impossible without spaying her first.
Yes, even dogs that are older than a year can be spayed.
dogs usually should get neutered/spayed at 6 month or over so.... yea....... ur dog will be fine.
The absence of heat signs in your 4-year-old dog could be due to several reasons including underlying health issues, pregnancy, or a delayed heat cycle. It is best to consult with a veterinarian to determine the cause and ensure your dog's well-being.
No everything should be just fine.
if she isn't old, of corse. a lot of dogs get spayed. she should be fine.
11 year old dog yes. But not an 11 year old person.
Most veterinarians agree that the best age to spay a Dog is before her first season (at about six months of age). However, some veterinarians disagree and say that the Dog should have one season, and then be spayed (at about one year old). You should consult a veterinarian on the best time to spay your Dog. (NOTE: Dogs cannot be spayed during their heat cycle/season, so wait until it has finished before having her spayed). My Old English Sheepdog was spayed at just under a year old and recovered completely within a few days.
No, not at all! Dogs don't develop emotional problems over bodily functions, such as their heat cycle. Your dog will be better off for being spayed.
You don't. If the dog is old enough she'll come into heat on her own (unless she's spayed- then she won't no matter what).
Nope your dogs still a puppy kinda. You can still train your dog.
well,if its a female spayed male neutered.and u should spay it when it is a puppy for safety because if they have to many litters its considerd abuse if there are to many.
A 13 year old dog is actually 91 in dog years. You take our year/age of dog's life and multiply each year by 7. A 16 year old dog is actually 112. Again, do same as above.
