Anyone experienced with this product? I'm still on the fence as far as what to do. Being a sighthound and very very fast he will not be left to roam off lead- making puppies isn't really a true concern of mine. I think I may end up waiting this out to see how his behaviour is as he matures... just don't let Bob Barker know, K?
As far as food he's 3 months now and the vet did suggest switching him over to an adult food starting @ 4 months. He is currently on a grain free commercial puppy food and will remain with the same brand should I switch to the adult version.
Are Whippets common on this board?

Neutrsol will make him sterile and I don't believe you can get it in N. America. That's what my Vet said but it was a few years ago that I asked. Superlorin will make him sterile temporarily but it's not available here either. You could investigate vascectomy which would render him sterile yet keep the testosterone production.
