Puppy question ~ Our little Bella will be 6 months about December 5. We wanted to have her spayed before her first heat, but our vet cannot do it until December 15. That is a very inconvenient time for us due to a trip and a party. So...we want to go elsewhere. I did some searching and know there are places that just do neutering and spaying but thought I'd ask for recommendations. We thought about letting her have her first heat, but I've read in numerous places that this is old school thinking. Thoughts, comments, recommendations? Thanks!
