Sterilization of Non-breeders |
Sadly, thousands of dogs are put to death needlessly every year because of animal overpopulation, caused by neglecting to have pets sterilized. Please consider carefully, the following information with regard to sterilization.
Benefits of sterilization
Your pet may be spayed/neutered at 6 months of age with no major problems. In most cases, sterilization implies only minor surgery under anesthesia. Most of the time, your pet will be back to normal activity within a couple of days.
In females, sterilization helps prevent:
- mammary tumours and cancer
- infection of the uterus
- diabetes in older female dogs
In males, sterilization helps prevent:
- roaming
- territorial marking
- prostate problems
- anal tumours
