What's the best age to spay or neuter my male and female puppies?

Question

Hi! I was wondering when is the best time to spay a female puppy or neuter a male puppy when both are the same age? I heard that early spay/neuter can be harmful for a dog’s health long term, but I’ve also heard it is perfectly fine. My dilemma is that I have two puppies of different genders (girl is Shiba Inu and boy is Klee Kai) and I don’t know if they will hit puberty early. Thank you

Early neutering is of more concern in large and giant breeds and the increase in any risks is actually quite small so in your situation, early neutering at 6months may be advisable. Monitor body condition and weight management as this is a significant factor in many complications in older dogs
