More Reasons To Fix Your Dog Nov 9, 2006
To Fix or Not to FixNovember 9, 2006

Besides not wanting puppies, are you looking for reasons to spay or neuter your dog? There are plenty.

Surgical removal of your dog's reproductive organs or glands can be done as early as 4 months of age. As a result, in addition to completely avoiding testicular or uterine infections and cancers, your dog is likely to:
  • Be more affectionate and less inclined to wander off
  • Have a reduced risk of accidental injuries, contagious diseases, prostate problems (if a male), and breast tumors (if a female).
Other reasons: You'll save on vet bills, and the cost of licensing your pet should drop quite a bit.
