Is it really better to mate once before neutering to complete the "dog birth"?

When will everyone have their dogs neutered?

Then...does it really have to be neutered after giving birth to a dog?

The answer is: No! Necessary!

First of all, it is not necessary for dogs to have babies!

Animal behaviorists generally hold a negative or cautious attitude towards whether love exists among animals.

When dogs mate, some male dogs may get a certain amount of pleasure, but most female dogs actually mate in uneasiness and fear.

Dogs usually use straddling behavior to declare their sovereignty and confirm the relationship of priority, rather than absolute physiological needs.

When they do this action, if the poop scraper takes out a piece of chicken jerky, they may immediately divert their attention. Because in their eyes, the attraction of making a little milk pup is far less than a piece of dried meat.

Secondly, there may be certain risks in breeding dogs.

Many people think that dog breeding is very simple, just put male dogs and female dogs in estrus together and let them do whatever they want.

In fact, it is not just a matter of one male and one female. Once the borrowed dog has an infectious disease, it will be transmitted to your own dog, and subsequent treatment will be very troublesome.

What’s worse is that if the matched dogs are not checked for any genetic diseases, such as hip dysplasia, how many innocent lives will be harmed, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Moreover, if the dog breeding is successful, taking care of the pregnant female dog is also a technical job. The dog will face the risk of dystocia if the dog owner fails to take good care of it.

Finally, in good conscience, do you have the energy to take care of a large number of puppies?

Data shows that, generally speaking, small dogs can give birth to 4-5 children, medium-sized dogs can give birth to 5-6 children, and large dogs can give birth to about 8-12 children.

Looking at a lot of little puppies, I believe that every poop scraper will immediately turn into an old mother at the beginning, "I will give you everything you want!"

But over time, when they find themselves unable to afford food or companionship, and find that they cannot take care of their puppies, many owners will choose to give them away. This is also a kind of pain for the dog mothers.

Some people even choose to discard them directly, thus exacerbating the problem of stray dogs.

Some dog owners think it’s inhumane not to let dogs have babies., at the very least, the dog should be given birth once and then neutered.

But in fact, there is currently no reasonable reason why it is better for dogs to have one litter. Moreover, pregnancy and childbirth inherently involve risks.

Early neutering actually has more advantages than disadvantages for dogs.

1. Generally speaking, neutering should be completed before the dog goes into heat for the first time, because the dog's physical condition is better during this period, the dosage of anesthetics is smaller, the damage to the body is less, and the recovery is faster.

2. Studies have shown that sterilization surgery can reduce the chance of female dogs suffering from uterine, ovarian cancer and breast cancer. Especially when female dogs have just become sexually mature and have not yet given birth, the effect is more obvious.

3. Generally speaking, dogs that have been neutered live longer than those that have not been neutered. Excessive reproductive activities will, to a certain extent, accelerate the aging of the dog’s body organs and shorten the dog’s life span.

So, after reading this, do you still think that early neutering will deprive the dog of its happiness?

In fact, for domestic dogs in modern society, a happy life is not that complicated.

A comfortable and safe environment, healthy and sufficient food, the companionship of the shit-sweeper, and unyielding love are enough. What's more, even if you are a two-legged beast, you don't have to get married and have children!
