Benefits of Castrating your Dog
Castrating your dog can be a difficult decision, but it will make your life easier in the long run. The benefits of castration include less aggression, less territoriality, and a healthier lifestyle for your dog.
Castrating your Pets
Spaying and neutering is the removal of a female dog’s reproductive organs or a male dog’s testicles. This prevents unwanted animal pregnancies, decreases overpopulation, and provides many health benefits (including prevention of lymphoma, prostate cancer, and uterine infections).
Why castrate your dog?
Dogs have a higher pool of cancer risk when they are not spayed or neutered. For example, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, and testicular cancer.
By removing the female dog’s reproductive organs, you remove their chance for ovarian cancers as well as mammary or prostate cancer.
Male and female dogs have a higher chance of an infection called pyometra in un-spayed and un-neutered dogs at 1 in 4 dogs.
This type of infection is potentially deadly if it occurs in any dog over the age of 4. These health benefits are one round the biggest reasons I recommend spaying or neutering every dog.
The costs of an un-spayed or neutered dog can be quite high, and spaying or neutering your dog is a minimal cost in the long run. Dogs are often spayed or neutered when they’re adopted from organizations like shelters.
Castrations resolves some behavioral issues
Intact dogs are usually more aggressive, impulsive, and hard to train. They have the urge to roam when you do not want them to. When you spay or neuter them, they will be less driven by their instincts and as a result, be more focused on their family.
Spaying/neutering your dog can also reduce certain unwanted behaviors such as marking their territory or mounting another dog or object.
You should keep in mind that this will not change their personality; it is just acting on a lack of drive to engage in these behaviors then they would otherwise have naturally.
