Compared with female dogs left intact, those spayed before puberty have 0.5% of the risk, those spayed after one estrous cycle have 8.0% of the risk, and dogs spayed after two estrous cycles have 26.0% of the risk of developing mammary neoplasia later in life.

The other common system defines "dog years" to be the actual calendar years (365 days each) of a dog's life, and "human years" to be the equivalent age of a human being.

[3] [11] There was no evidence of increased risk of infection for cats.
According to a new study, it doesn't really make sense to calculate a dog's age the traditional way — by multiplying its "human year" age by seven. The actual formula, it turns out, might mean ...
A later study comparing female dogs spayed between 4 and 6 months and after 6 months showed no increased risk. [ 33 ] One study showed the incidence of hip dysplasia increased to 6.7% for dogs neutered before 5.5 months compared to 4.7% for dogs neutered after 5.5 months, although the cases associated with early age neutering seems to be of a ...

It was later removed from the market due to a high risk of cystic endometrial hyperplasia and uterine infection. [4] Another progestin-based drug, megestrol acetate, was also found to be effective in prevention of oestrus in female dogs, [4] but required administration at specific time intervals, making it unsuitable for feral animals.
