It is generally recommended that Alaskan Malamutes 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 neutering Alaskan Malamutes:

1. Neutering can reduce mating behavior. Mating behavior here refers not only to actual mating, but also to dogs mating with toys or even their owner’s legs or feet. Cooperating with the education of sterilization masters, this indecent behavior can be reduced and avoided.

2. Neutering can dilute a dog’s territorial awareness and increase its aggression. Of course, if the dog itself has a bold and stubborn temperament, or has not achieved a basic amount of exercise, or has not undergone normal socialization training, neutering alone cannot fundamentally solve this problem.

3. Neutering can reduce the risk of being attacked by other male dogs. Even if your dog is docile and has a good temper, unneutered male dogs are more likely to be targeted by other male dogs.
