* Spaying too early can increase the risk of certain health problems. Studies have shown that spaying dogs before they reach puberty can increase their risk of developing certain health problems, such as urinary incontinence, hip dysplasia, and certain types of cancer.
* Waiting until your dog is 5 months old allows her body to fully develop before undergoing surgery. This can help to reduce the risk of complications during surgery and ensure that your dog recovers quickly and easily.
* Spaying your dog at 5 months of age can help to prevent unwanted pregnancies. If you are not planning on breeding your dog, spaying her is the most effective way to prevent her from becoming pregnant.
