Those of us in the animal sheltering and rescue world usually recommend early-age spay/neuter at 8 weeks of age, or as soon as possible after that. Promoting early-age spay neuter is part of the social responsibility we feel to do all we can to reduce 5,000 dogs and cats euthanized in animal shelters every day. We see the number of puppies and kittens barely 6 months old that come to shelters, suffering from such an early pregnancy.
My best advice is to work with your veterinarian to determine the optimum age for spaying your specific dog. For cats, there does not seem to be any significant evidence that waiting has any specific benefit, so spaying and neutering around age 4 to 6 months old is the accepted recommendation. This allows time to finish their vaccination series, avoid some behavioral issues and still prevents early and accidental breedings.
