When to Spay. If your lab puppy is at least 6 months old, the time is right for spaying. Some vets, humane societies and breeders recommend spaying as early as 2 to 4 months, but the traditional age is 6 months. A lab puppyâs first heat typically occurs between 7 and 12 months so you likely want to spay before then.
Here we cover when to spay a cat. The recommended age for having a female cat spayed is just before they reach sexual maturity, around 5-8 months. They should weigh at least 2 pounds at the time of the procedure. Spaying is recommended for female kittens before their first heat when possible. Signs of female heat will be obvious. If your young cat goes into heat before youâre able to have her spayed, keep her indoors, wait until the heat passes, and have her spayed just after.
