How long does it take for a dog’s cut to heal?
Catch an infection early to prevent complications and further scarring. Chances are, if you successfully prevent your dog from licking or biting the wound, the wound will begin to heal. In most cases, a wound or incision will be almost healed in around 2 weeks after surgery or treatment. A scar will begin form after around 3 weeks.
When is the best time to have your dog neutered?
Experts suggest having your dog spayed or neutered before 6 months of age.

Older dogs with chronic conditions may not be good candidates for general anesthesia.
An average incision typically takes 10-14 days to fully heal. This means remaining disciplined as a pet owner and keeping your pet’s e-collar on while limiting her activity levels for at least 2 weeks following the surgery is a must.
