Many people hold strong opinions about spaying or neutering pets. And you don’t have to look far to find one discussion after another about its pros and cons. But so many contain conflicting information!
If you choose to adopt a dog from a shelter, you should know this. Many shelters require spaying or neutering of a dog before they will allow it to leave to go to their forever home. Why? What do they know that you don’t?
In this blog post, we’re listing the pros and cons of spaying or neutering, so you can make an educated decision of your own.
First, what is spaying or neutering? American Humane defines spaying or neutering: “Spaying is a general term used to describe the ovariohysterectomy of a female animal. Neutering is a general term used to describe the castration of a male animal. However, neutering is often used in reference to both genders. The surgical procedure, performed by a veterinarian, renders the animal incapable of reproducing.”
More often than not, puppies are born in the middle of the night while you are sleeping. You want to be able to monitor your dog while she is in labor, so make it a habit to check on her every morning, especially as her due date approaches.
Once every puppy has made their grand entry, your momma dog needs postpartum care. This is extremely important for her health and well-being.
Responsible pet owners hate to see their dogs in pain, especially following a surgical procedure they opted to have done to their dogs. And making your pet as comfortable as possible after a procedure is every good pet owner’s top priority.
If you decide that spaying or neutering your dog is best, talk with your vet while your dog is still very young. Make sure they are the best age and/or old enough for the procedure before the surgery. Then, implement the following to encourage a speedy recovery:
The pros and cons of spaying or neutering your pet are numerous. Ultimately, it comes down to whatever you and your family decide is best for you. Your lifestyle and preferences for how your four-legged family member fits in can help you determine what is right for you to do.
