Hi all, I have a 5 month old cockapoo. He started daycare two days a week and loves it and we might up it to three days a week as a result. However the daycare won’t take any dogs unneutered over the age of 6 months. So we really need To make a decision on this.
We don’t actually have to do it as we’re both working from home due to covid for another few months so we could just pull him out of the daycare however it’s very hard to find information on whether it’s a good idea to neuter him at 6 months or wait and if so how long.
Does anyone have any ideas? I’m going to ask vet but with covid we can’t really get in there to have a proper discussion.
Does it actually matter when neutered? For context of his personality he’s very good with children and loves people in general and very happy pup. Easy to train and very affectionate. He was wary of other dogs at first but the daycare have done a great job socialising him to all sizes and say he’s a lot happier. He doesn’t like being left on his own in the house but sleeps in his crate downstairs alone from 11-6 and randomly is happy out in the car on his own if we pop into the shop so he doesn’t seem particularly anxious bad if we try leave him during the day in the house alone.
