Hi Alexander,

The right time to spay a Cavapoo depends on your dog’s age, size, and development. Most vets recommend spaying between six and twelve months, balancing maturity and long-term health. Early spaying can help prevent reproductive cancers and unwanted litters, while waiting allows hormones to stabilize bone and muscle growth. Always talk to your vet before deciding, since smaller Cavapoos often mature earlier than larger ones. According to our full Cavapoo spay guide, (https://cavapoo-puppy.dog/blog/health/when-to-spay-your-cavapoo-a-complete-guide-35)

the right age may also depend on your dog’s temperament and activity level. After the procedure, provide a quiet space for rest and use a cone if needed to prevent licking. Most Cavapoos recover quickly — within a week, they’re usually back to their playful selves. Long-term, spaying reduces hormone-driven behaviors like marking or restlessness and supports a calmer temperament. It also helps protect your dog from infections like pyometra. Make sure to schedule the surgery when you can monitor your pup closely for a few days, and follow your vet’s recovery advice to ensure everything goes smoothly.
