Dogs grow up quickly. Your adorable puppy will quickly mature into a robust and healthy dog. Before long, you’ll need to address the neutering issue.
It can save them from testicular cancer. Additionally, since your dog was neutered, he stands a better chance of avoiding specific illnesses.
Additionally, neutered dogs are less likely to run loose in your neighborhood. That significantly lowers the likelihood that your pet will be involved in an accident.
Neutering is also recommended because it helps prevent over-population. However, there are some notable caveats to that.
Continue reading this article to find out more about what happens to your dog after neutering and their ability to reproduce.
How long post op will my dog need lead walks?
We would advise against lead walks for at least a week following surgery or until their post-operative check has been approved.
When we say ‘three months post season’ is it from the beginning or when the season finishes?
Given that dogs typically have a season every 6 months, we would suggest spaying 3 months after the end of a season. This means we are spaying mid cycle to minimise risks.
Can neutering change my dogs behaviour?
Castration can begin as early as six months if there are no issues with a male dog’s nervousness around other male dogs, people, or unfamiliar environments, though we prefer to wait until a male dog is fully mature before castration. It can lessen urine humping and marking, though this can sometimes be caused by excitement. We advise making an appointment with one of our veterinarians or behaviorists to discuss in detail as castration can help with some behavioural issues but is not always the solution. In behavior cases, chemical castration is always an option to see if it will be beneficial.
By having them spayed, you can prevent them from going into season and any issues that may arise. e. prevent the risk of phantom/false pregnancies. Early spaying has no impact on behavior unless there is domestic dog aggression, and spaying will exacerbate this.
