Spaying or neutering your dog is one of the best decisions you can make as a pet owner for many reasons. Male dogs are neutered by removing their testicles. Female dogs are spayed by removing their reproductive organs. Don’t worry, you pet will be under complete anesthesia the entire time so they will experience no pain. After the operation, they will have stitches that may have to be removed.
Unless you are a specific breeder of dogs, spaying or neutering your pet is a great decision for you and your pet. There are so many animals out there that are homeless as it is; there is no need to create more. Also, an unwanted pregnancy for any pet owner can be quite a nuisance. You not only will have up to ten little puppies to deal with but you also have to find ten little homes for them to go to.
There are several positive effects that spaying or neutering your dog possesses. First of all, it is a fact that this procedure helps your pet live a prolonged and healthier life. This is because there are several health issues, such as ovarian or testicular cancer, spaying or neutering your dog eliminates. This in turn reduces future vet bills for you to have to pay. You see, everyone wins in this situation!
If less doctor bills were not enough of an incentive for you, then you should know that spaying or neutering your dog will also make them sweeter and more loving animals. As an added bonus, it will also keep unwanted stray dogs from roaming and cruising around your house looking for action.
Lastly, all jokes aside, pet overpopulation is a huge problem for you, your community and for all dogs in general. Every year thousands, maybe more, of dogs are euthanized because there is simply no way to care for them or no good homes for then to go to. Shelters are crowded and streets are overrun with homeless, unwanted dogs. Spaying or neutering your dog is a necessity.
Luckily, if you feel that spaying or neutering your dog would be too expensive then you still have some options. There are vets, clinics and humane societies all over the country that offer discounted and even free operations depending on your financial resources. Now, spaying or neutering your dog is an option, so make an appointment and get it done.
