Does spaying my dog increase cancer risk, like hemangiosarcoma?

Question

Does spaying really increase the chance of get hemangiosarcoma? Like have you seen a peak of this & other bad things in spayed dogs? Time is getting closer & i dont want to make the wrong decision. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 2 months old | 4 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Precious. Spaying removes the risk of uterine cancer or a uterine infection. It decreases the risk of mammary cancer up until the fourth heat cycle. Females rottweilers that are spayed before 1 year of age have an increased risk of osteosarcoma, but that is the only associated that seems credible. I have not seen an increase in hemangiosarcoma in spayed dogs. I hope this information helps!
