We got Daisy spayed after her first season with us (her third overall), waited the recommended amount of time after it, though I can't remember how long that was. We really struggled to keep her calm in the period afterwards, she's very very energetic and active and to keep her from bounding around and walking upstairs at a slow pace was a constant headache. She ended up with a minor complication because of it - the area around the surgery scar filled with fluid (around the size of a couple golfballs), which was pretty scary but ultimately it settled and healed up nicely. For no more stressful seasons, and the health benefits, it was a bit of a no brainer for us. I was pretty scared about it all, having lost a dog when I was younger after she got spayed, but Daisy has been fine. Didn't get keyhole surgery.
