Neutering golden retrievers has pros and cons, but the pros outweigh the cons. Therefore, without considering breeding, it is best to neuter the dog, which can reduce the trouble caused by the dog's estrus period, prolong the life of the dog, and reduce reproductive tract infections. However, appropriate examinations must be carried out before the dog is sterilized. Good health is a very important first condition, and if the golden retriever is in estrus, the operation must be done after the estrus period is over.

What should be paid attention to when neutering golden retrievers:

1. The best time to neuter a dog is before the first estrus, about six months to eight months When it's big. During this period, the dog is basically fully sexually mature, and the hormone levels in the dog's body are still in a balanced and stable state when not in estrus, which reduces the negative impact of postoperative hormones.

2. If you consider the season suitable for wound healing, you can choose to sterilize in spring and autumn. The weather in spring and autumn is warm, neither hot nor cold, and is suitable for wound healing.

3. The owner needs to contact the pet doctor in advance to make an appointment for surgery. Since the surgery requires anesthesia, in order to prevent the male dog from refluxing food and choking, the male dog needs to be fasted and deprived of food and water for 8 hours.

4. Do not take the dog home when it is not awake. It is best to observe it in the clinic first to prevent accidents. After arriving home, choose a comfortable and clean nest and rest in a ventilated area.

5. It is recommended that the dog be hospitalized for 7 days after surgery to prevent them from being active and causing wound tearing or bacterial infection.
