Neutering dogs (males) or castration and dog spaying (females) will prevent your dog from reproducing. For females the ovaries are removed surgically and neutering removes the male testicles. Neutering is simpler and less invasive because the testicles are located in a sac outside the body.
Most dogs are spayed between 5 and 8 months of age, but many veterinarians and shelters are now spaying female as early as 2 months. Many studies have shown that early spaying/neutering to be perfectly safe, and puppies often have a faster recovery time than those spayed when they are older.
Benefits of Neutering Dogs
There have been many studies done on the pros and cons of spaying and neutering, and there is some debate about performing this procedure too early.
By neutering your male dog it may make for a better pet because some dogs (50%-60%) will be…
- less assertive
- more relaxed and less aggressive
- other dogs are less likely to show aggression towards them
- easier to handle
- may stop marking territory in the house
- less likely to roam
It also reduces the chance of non-cancerous prostate issues, testicular or anal tumors and hernia.
Aggressive dog behavior should be stopped because it develops over time and becomes worse. You should be aware of your dog’s behavior. Sometimes small dogs get away with more aggressive behavior because of their size. It is not seen as offensive if they jump on top of you or pull you on the leash. But they too can hurt you or others and should also be disciplined.
Neutered dogs require less food and you need to make sure they are getting enough exercise to prevent weight gain.
Dog neutering or spaying will not change your best friends personality, intelligence, playfulness or guarding abilities. They will live long, healthy and happy lives and be a great pet.
The greater and more important issue here is over-population. Shelters are full and of the approximately 27 millions dogs born each year in the U.S. 5-10 million are put to death because they are unwanted and that does not include the hundreds of thousands that we have no statistics on that are abandoned, neglected or abused. By far the largest cause of death in the U.S. and Canada is euthanasia.
Don’t stress anymore about your dog’s aggressive behavior or be embarrassed to take him anywhere. Get the help you need to correct it and have a great time with your “best friend”
