Getting the female done will eliminate the heat and the possibility of puppies, it'll be easier to control the male than it will the female, you can still take the male outside without worrying, the female you can't.

Have her look into spay and neuter clinics you can get the dogs done for roughly $60.00 each, males are actually cheaper. Some clinics depending on where you are will do it for free.

Get the female spayed that way she doesnt attract any other male dogs.

Just a thought here... Depending on where you live, some areas have free or low-cost spay/neuter programs for dogs (and cats). You could do a Google search to see if there are any in your area.

I too would get the female spayed first. An animal in heat, inside your house, isn't pleasant to clean up after.

Neither. Both are equally important. But honestly if she is only going to fix one of them she needs to go ahead and fix the female. She could be at risk for Pyometra infection and uterine cancers. So I'd say fix the female first. But encourage her to fix the male as well

Ofcourse as a student its never a good idea to have 1 dog, much less 2.

if money is her issue than neutering tends to be the more affordable surgery.
while both are equally important. I think that fixing the male first is a good idea if they interact. its easier to keep a female confined while in heat than to keep a male confined when any dog within 5 blocks is in heat.

Re: Spay/Neuter which is more important?

i would go with neatured because it will come in handy so the dog wont go around looking for a mate and then it will start wanting to be with the opposite sex all the time and if you dont let him be with them he will be very upset and stuff so i say neatured

hope i helped

Neuter first! Actually, I think both spaying and neutering are equally important. Try calling your local Humane Society, shelter, or even your town's Animal Control. They will most likely have information about free services or discounts for altering so that you can afford to do both right away.

Spay first. It is the surgery that provides the most health benefits for the animal, it stops the b**** from coming into heat, and anyone who has done population modeling knows that it's the number of fertile females that causes population growth.

If she's in heat, there are dozens of males that will be trying to get to her even if her male is neutered, whereas if her male manages to get to a b**** in heat, it is likely that another stud would or did also get to her already - still her responsibility, but it is easier to keep your male from getting out than a host of males from getting in!

You are all wired to the moon, why risk the anaesthesia have you ever heard of separating the dogs from the bitches when they are in heat It always worked for me.
i'l carry on doing it too i want to keep my animals alive!
Guess what anaesthetics can kill humans as well as dogs how would you feel if i sterilised you? pissed i bet! Think of the animals needs not your bloody stupid wants! All of you probably used crates on your dogs....... now theres a thought huh? theres a good use for a crate!
