What age is the best age to neuter a dog?
It is recommended that dogs should be neutered after they are 7-8 months old. Neutering surgery generally refers to the surgical removal of ovaries and uterus of female dogs to achieve the purpose of sterilization. Male dogs are generally called castrated, and the testicles are surgically removed. The main purpose of sterilization and castration surgery is to prevent dogs from going into heat, reduce the chance of being lost due to heat, and can effectively prevent related reproductive system diseases, such as pyometra.
Benefits of dog neutering:
1. Control the birth rate of puppies. Control the birth rate of puppies and reduce abandonment due to excessive births. Neutering dogs can effectively reduce the birth rate of dogs, control the overall number of dogs, and reduce the number of pets being abandoned and sent to shelters.
2. Avoid false pregnancy in female dogs. Some female dogs may show symptoms of pregnancy during estrus, even if they are not mated. They may have bulging abdomens, swollen nipples, and even milk production. This problem can affect your dog's physical health. After sterilization, there will be no such problem.
3. Improve the male dog’s random peeing behavior. Many male dogs will urinate indiscriminately when they are in estrus. If the dog is neutered, this desire of male dogs will be reduced, and the situation of indiscriminate urination will be improved.
