If
you have been considering neutering or spaying your dog, you have come to the
right place. Below you will find all the positives and negatives you will need
to know before neutering or spaying your male/female dog.
WHEN
SHOULD I NEUTER MY DOG?
A
very important consideration when it comes to neutering and spaying dogs is
when is the best age to do it. While the
traditional age for neutering is six to nine months, puppies as young as eight
weeks old can be neutered as long as they’re healthy. Dogs can be neutered as
adults as well, although there’s a slightly higher risk of post-operative
complications in older dogs, dogs that are overweight or dogs that have health
problems. It is best you talk to your veterinarian about
what's best for your dog.
As
you can see, the advantages of spaying or neutering your dog outweigh the
disadvantages however it is up to the owner to decide. If your dog has any of
the following behavioral problems, it is recommended to neuter him:
- Excessive marking
- Aggression towards other dogs
- Aggression towards other people
- Stubborn, resistant, hard to control and hard to train
- Paying more attention to other dogs rather than you
