Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, this would be a good time to have her spayed. The cost of a spay varies greatly but the least expensive option typically is doing it at your local humane society which you may qualify for. At a regular clinic I would say is anywhere from $75-250. Good luck and have a great day!
