Most veterinarians wait until at Least 6 months of age prior to neuter. As far as cost, all veterinary hospitals have their own pricing and it can vary based on location as well. I would encourage you to have him evaluated by a veterinarian soon to start vaccinations and deworming. The veterinarian you choose can give you an estimate for neutering at that time. If you don’t have a veterinarian chosen yet ask your friends and neighbors who they have used and would recommend. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
