Should You Spay Your Dog Early? The Truth About Estrogen & Health

Is early spaying the best option for your dog? Historically, vets have recommended spaying at six months, but new research suggests that estrogen plays a crucial role in overall health, especially for large-breed dogs.

In this video, Dr. Smith discusses:
✔️ Why early spaying was traditionally recommended
✔️ The role of estrogen in preventing bone issues and certain cancers
✔️ Ovary-sparing spay: an alternative to traditional spaying
✔️ The risks of urinary incontinence after early spaying

Key Takeaways:
✔️ Estrogen impacts bone health and may help slow certain cancers.
✔️ Large-breed dogs may benefit from delaying spaying or choosing an ovary-sparing spay.
✔️ Urinary incontinence from early spaying can require lifelong treatment.
✔️ Every pet owner should weigh the risks and benefits before deciding.

Talk to your veterinarian to determine the pros and cons of an early spay or delayed spay schedule.
