Female pup to be neutered

    Hi, a neighbour has acquired a female puppy, nice little thing. I suggested she consider neutering and after discussing the pros and cons, she decided to go that route. She hasn't really got the money for this, so anyone know of a way to have done at less than the going rate....which I think is approx €150....and to done when pup is about six months? I think I remember something about some organisations doing free for pensioners/low earners etc.

    I see similar queries on boards.ie but hopefully someone may have some up to date info.

    Thanks in advance

    The person in question is in the Dublin area. Small terrier type, probably grow to JRT size. I know from a bitch I had years ago it was recommended to let have a first heat and then do it, at approx nine months....but there seem to conflicting views on this now. What would your reason be not to do it at six months?

    I prefer them to be mature & have had one season. In fact in some large breeds early spaying neutering is linked to bone cancers & joint issues. Brian Jones in Coldwinters does better prices then Dublin vets. Coldwinters is near Dogs Trust. Our Jack Russell cross was done at less then a year & he has terrible joint problems.

    Ok thanks for that info. For for thought. I don't think it will be an issue to "mind" the dog until over twelve months old and then have it done.

    Thanks

    If she does not get sorted with a Dog's Trust voucher I'm sure Brian Jones would do a decent price for her. Good on you for looking out for your neighbour & her little dog.

    The Irish Blue Cross also have a low cost neutering scheme.
