as far as i know vets wont do a spaying if the dog is pregnant UNLESS you have them aborted. I know when i was looking to get my dogs spayed, they all said if they are pregnant i was going to have to wait till they had the babies. But neither of my dogs got pregnant.

spaying is not an optional extra when you have a dog - its just the responsible thing to do (valuble breeding stock excepted of course) so yeah spaying is always a good idea.

Ya know the more i get to thinking about it the more i feel it needs to be said....
With the spaying issue, i dont think it should be a big factor with just cats and dogs, it should be with any animal such as horses. They are in just as bad of shape as cats and dogs.

99% of male horses ARE gelded. It wouldnt be viable to sterilize mares, partly because of the hugely increased risks and cost and partly because the mares may change hands any number of times and an infertile mare would be drastically reduced in value. Just because one owner doesnt want to breed doesnt mean the next one wont. Also there arent really the same issues with horses. There are very few real health benefits and its much less likely that an unsterilized mare will accidently get pregnant compared to an unsterilized b.itch or queen.
Its a case of weighing up the benefits against the risks. with mares risks outweigh, with dogs and cats benefits outweigh and there are real risks with not sterilizing. Lou

IMO it's always good to spay or neuter our canine pets....and don't forget our feline friends too!
