What are the advantages of neutering my dog?
Modern medicine allows us to do most all surgical procedures without pain. Dogs
can be given pre-surgery pain relievers as well as pain medication during the
procedure. Take-home medications to keep your dog comfortable are also available.
There are many behavior benefits associated with neutering.
Neutered male dogs are less likely to roam and thereby less likely to be hit by
a car. Neutering also decreases a dog’s desire to show aggression or dominance
to other male dogs or people.
Health benefits of neutering include a reduction in the
incidence of testicular disease and prostate cancer.
If you have a family and wish your dog to be your family
pet, the best thing in terms of your dog’s health and behavior is to have him
neutered.
