Is 8 months too young to spay puppy? Or relevant?

I have a female chihuahua terrier mix and I don t own any male dogs just my sisters female 7 year old un-spayed yorkie in the house. And I want to know of its too young to spay her or relevant? Also what are the benefits and pros & cons to it?

Four months is the earliest you can do it, but spaying after ten months is probably the best. Some dogs can end up being healthier if they are able to grow with their natural sexual hormones, and those hormones will be much more plentiful after heat.

🐕 Yes, too young. Vets prefer that age because there is less for them to do, and wounds heal much quicker while the body is growing rapidly. But... Vets don't have to live with the long-term consequences. Indeed, they make money from treating them.

🐕 Yes, relevant.

● "Also what are the benefits and pros & cons to it?"

To WHAT?
To the spaying? Or to spaying too young?

and study the research reports on the possible long-term consequences, and the odds of any one of those consequences actually occurring. Incontinence is probably the most likely. It also has videos of the operations.

💥Advantages of spaying:
☆ No blood dripping inside your house or vehicle.
☆ No dogs leaping over or digging under your fences or gate to mate with your pet.
☆ Your bỉtch won't be leaping over or digging under your fences or gate to find mates of all sizes & types.
☆ No litters to look after and try to find RESPONSIBLE homes for.

😖 It's almost all DISADVANTAGES when done too young.
And THAT is VERY relevant!
Based on the research reports, I recommend that pups NEVER be neutered before the growth-plates in the leg bones have stopped adding length to the legs in synchronised response to the hormonal signal from the gonad - which does NOT happen younger than 10 months, and often not until after 15 months old. The only exception is if a mis-mating has happened (the risks from a too-young pregnancy & birth are greater than from a too-young gravid spaying). Although Chihuahuas and small Terriers have almost no risk from hip dysplasia, they CERTAINLY have a high risk from patella problems.
You'll know MUCH more than [Newf], after you've read those reports. You might also like to look at that group's videos showing neutering being done.

Too YOUNG? Your backyard breeder mutt puppy could have been spayed as young as EIGHT WEEKS old. Every month she's come into heat you've run the risk of this mutt ended up with Pyometra and DEATH, idiot.

Unless you plan on breeding her, you should definitely have her spayed. On average, dogs who have been spayed live 2 entire years longer than those who have not been. They are not at risk for many types of cancer anymore, and have fewer health complications as a whole.

In addition, you eliminate the risk of her accidentally becoming pregnant. If she did, you would have to deal with the puppies. There are already so many unwanted dogs in the world, there really shouldn't be more.
