Traditionally, vets have recommended that cats and dogs are desexed between about 5? and 6 months of age.

But over the past decade, desexing at an earlier age (from eight weeks onwards) has become more common.

This is known as early-age desexing or EAD.

Traditionally, the recommendation was for dogs to be desexed between five and six months of age. In more recent years and based on scientific evidence, the RSPCA and many veterinarians are recommending that dogs be desexed before they reach puberty, which for some dogs can be as early as four months.
