Males can be castrated from 6 months old. However, we are recommending clients book to see a nurse or vet to discuss the best time as it is not suitable for all dogs to be castrated at this age. (temperament, breed, size etc.)

Females are ideally spayed 3 months after their first season.  It can be done before the first season.  Check with a Vet if unsure.
