Ovary sparing spay vets are hard to find though. I found one in Wisconsin

I kinda prefer not doing it for as long as possible, there is benefits and cons both ways. For large dogs I'd probably do it at 6 or 7 of I didn't do it earlier for some reason. I've debated that as well for willow. I personally think on adulthood it's best to be intact for health and energy but I also worry about pyrometra (if I spelled that right..) for my females

Agreed!

my family’s last golden got pyometra and nearly died. I’ve seen 2 pyometra surgeries at the vet and it’s crazy! The uterus is HUGE!! A normal uterus is tiny, just a little scrap of tissue.

Yeah, i really worry. Denver hasnt gotten it yet through 4 or 5 heats cant remember.

Pyrometra us the only reason I'm wanting to spay willow at 3 or 4, I'm still weighing it out for waiting longer though

Yes, I have thought about that too. It seems like the very best option, they are still intact but no risk of pyometra.

There are more benefits of keeping intacted in my opinion.
I know rescue dogs are fixed before sending to homes.
My aunts rescue that passed this year has had bladder issues for 2 or 3 years now. And was fixed as a puppy.

Even though I’ve seen pyometra many times, I personally wouldn’t really worry about it. I know the spay is riskier when they have it, but they rarely die.

Yeah I don't like that, I worry for Oakley since he was done at 4 months
