Not sure if this has made me any less uncertain about best point to do it...
(not least because staffies not on the list)
Am going to guess it'll probably be fine either way, will see what vet says.
Current vet said after first season, but am waiting to hear from another local one that does the keyhole spaying.
Probably more important to get her a coat that fits properly... she hates going out in the cold and her current one is now like a crop top.
BTW interested in any more experienced dog owner's opinions on spaying - before or after first season? Anyone paid extra for keyhole surgery?
