Should I spay my dog?

Spaying your pet will help control the pet homelessness crisis. According to the ASPCA millions of healthy dogs and cats are euthanized because there aren’t enough homes to go around. There are also medical and behavioral benefits to spaying female pets. Talk with your veterinarian regarding your female dog as age and post surgery care is important. Is your dog up to date with vaccinations? Your vet may require your dog to be up to date. Does your dog need teeth cleaned? These are also things to talk to your vet as (s)he could clean the teeth while the dog is under anesthesia.
