Ten Best Reasons to Spay/Neuter Your Dog
1. You love your dog and want him to live a long, healthy life.
Spaying and neutering reduces the risk of certain types of cancers and infections, especially if it is performed prior to the first heat in females and before puberty in males. 2. You are concerned about pet overpopulation and don't want to contribute to the tragedy of so many dogs dying homeless. 3. You are a self-assured, confident individual and don't need your dog's genitalia to boost your self esteem. 4. You don't want to put your female through the risks associated with motherhood. 5. You want your dog to live a happy life free from stress and frustration. Intact males can smell females in heat miles away. They are in constant state of frustration when triggered by their sexual hormones but not able to do anything about it. 6. Neutered males are easier to control and less aggressive. "The majority of dog bites are made by intact males. No fatal dog attack involving an altered dog was ever reported." 7. Spayed females are more stable and even-tempered. The female reproduction cycle lasts 6 months. During that cycle the dog goes through frequent hormonal changes that directly influence her behavior. Think of it this way: The premenstrual cycle (PMS) of a female dog lasts several months. 8. You support rescue and want to set a good example. 9. You like your house clean. Spaying eliminates the possibility of getting blood stains on your couch, floor, bed, etc. when your female has her heat cycle. Neutering reduces/eliminates marking behavior both indoors and out.. 10. Accidents happen! Dogs don't wear condoms. |
