Is neutering a large breed dog under 2 years old safe for bones?

Question

185# and not even 2 yrs old. Will neutering at this age encourage hi- displacia or other bone problems?

Destini R. Holloway, DVM · Accepted Answer

In large breed dogs (i..e Golden Retriever, Labs, Rottweilers, etc) the newer recommendations is to wait until the pet is 2-3 years of age before neutering to decrease the chances of inadvertently causing bone cancer. So I would recommend waiting a bit longer.
