Advantages and disadvantages of neutering female Corgis:

Advantages of neutering female Corgis:

1. If the dog is neutered before two and a half years old , can significantly reduce the risk of breast tumors, uterine tumors, cervical tumors and breast tumors, and can also prevent excessive fertility from accelerating the aging of body organs.

2. Neutering can dilute a dog’s territorial awareness and improve its aggression.

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

4. Neutering can help shift the dog’s attention from other dogs to the owner. Unneutered dogs spend a lot of their energy paying attention to other dogs. Neutering and proper training can greatly improve this, allowing the dog to focus more on its owner, and its obedience will naturally improve.

Disadvantages of neutering female Corgis:

1. Neutering triples the chance of dog obesity. Being overweight is prone to arthritis, heart disease, pancreatitis, etc. After a dog is neutered, if the owner continues to feed it the same amount of food as before sterilization, the dog will easily gain weight. This is because the hormonal metabolism of the dog after neutering has changed, so it no longer needs as much food.

2. Sterilization increases the risk of hemangioma. Hemangiomas generally appear on the heart and spleen. Compared with unneutered dogs, neutered dogs are twice as likely to develop splenic hemangioma, and the risk of cardiac hemangioma is four times higher.

3. Sterilization triples the chance of developing hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can cause obesity, lethargy, and hair loss, but these symptoms can be controlled with daily thyroid medication.
