Thank you for submitting your question regarding Grace. Spaying her will prevent the possibility of a uterine infection and several types of cancer. Beforehand though, I recommend bloodwork and urine testing as well as possibly chest x-rays to ensure that she is healthy enough for anesthesia. You also want to have the surgery performed 2-3 months after a heat cycle. The surgery has the potential to be costly given her size. I hope this information helps!
