Frequently Asked Questions About Maltese Dogs
What is the best age to have my Maltese spayed or neutered?
This is something you would want to consult with your vet about. The short answer would be before the first heat for a female, usually around 6 months of age. You would want to coincide any dental work that may need done with the spay or neuter surgery so that the risk of anesthesia is only done once instead of twice. Many Maltese have puppy teeth that might need removed at around the same time. Consult with your vet.
