SPAYING OR NEUTERING YOUR DOG IS HEALTHIER FOR THEM

Neutering a male eliminates the possibility of testicular tumors and efficiently reduces the chance of prostate problems.

Neutering decreases the chance of perianal tumors and hernias that are in older, unneutered males. Neutered males are less likely to escape a yard and find a female in heat. This reduces the chance of them being hit by cars, getting into fights or lost.

Females spayed before their first estrous cycle reduces her chance of mammary tumors, ovarian cancer and uterine infection. A spayed female eliminates the neighborhood stray males from coming over or through your fence to breed with her.

Spaying and neutering before sexual maturity has a temperament benefit. Males neutered early in life tend to be less aggressive. Neutered males are less likely to mark in the house.

A spayed female does not have hormonal mood swings and will make a far superior pet. A female with a litter can become very aggressive. Spaying makes your female a better companion.

There can be many serious risks involved with breeding. The mother can develop complications and require expensive medical treatment. The mother can die because of complications and leave you to do her job. Buying formula, finding proper bottles, knowing how much to feed, killing the puppies if you over or under feed. Teaching them to eliminate; that is a fun one!

There are so many animals out there already and the shelters are full of unwanted pets from bad breeding or accidental breeding from someone who was unwilling to support the life they brought into this world. Do you want one of the puppies you bred to be euthanized because the people who bought it changed their mind? Or how would you like to bring a puppy into this world that is plagued its entire life with genetic or medical issues because you didn’t health test the parents? Many dogs adopted from shelters have medical issues or develop them because of bad breeding.

Spread the word it’s important to get a pet from a reputable breeder that offers lifetime support, a health guarantee and are willing to take the pet back if life goes wrong and you are unable to keep it. There are always going to be bad breeders unfortunately and the only way to start clearing out the shelters is by not supporting those bad breeders in the first place… make sure your breeder is ensuring the health of their pets and your new puppy. Make sure they are willing to always take the puppy back to rehome or keep. This will keep dogs out of shelters and fewer dogs will end up being euthanized.
