What age to Neuter?

[JoyMac]

What age did everyone neuter their dogs? I wasn't sure if I wanted to get Toby neutered but I hear that they live longer and there are other benefits. What age do you suggest?

Most veterinary advice is to have it done prior to a year old, to maximise the health benefits. A short article on some of that here: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=2&cat=1625&articleid=911

Thank you for the article! I made an appointment to meet with the vet on Weds and we are going to discuss this and his ears!
