Question
WILL GETTING MY DOG SPAYED EFFECT HER GROWTH RATE? THANKS

Answer
No,spaying a female does not increase the growth rate-it is sometimes the case in males but only really in 'giant' breeds like Mastiffs and great danes ect breeds that weigh over 100 pounds-and in that case vets usually tell the owners to wait until the dog is a year

But it does not affect females
