Why Should I Spay or Neuter My Dog?
Spaying and neutering are common procedures that are extremely beneficial to dogs that will not breed. The dog health benefits of early spaying are both physical and behavioral. Female dogs are less likely to develop cancer and/or pyometra, and unwanted pregnancy is avoided. Male dogs are also less likely to develop cancer, and tend to be less aggressive when neutered. Males that haven't been neutered, on the other hand, are more likely to run away, in search of a female in heat. In general, animal welfare organizations and veterinarians agree that spaying and neutering pets is a responsible decision that will benefit both pets and owners. Pet health care professionals insist that problems can certainly be avoided with these simple procedures. With proper dog care, you will also avoid excessive animal care expenses. Maintaining your dog's health through spaying and neutering is a sure way to prevent unnecessary costs
