dogs spade/nuetered?

Question

why do you have to get your dogs spade/nuedered

Answer 1

Unspayed female dogs go into heat which is messy and annoying, but more worrisome than that: unspayed female dogs sometimes develop a severe uterine infection (called pyometra) which requires surgery and can be fatal if not treated. This infection usually occurs in older dogs when it is riskier (and much more expensive) to perform the surgery.

Unneutered males tend to be territorial, or are sometimes more likely to wander away from home in search of "love", or may develop undesirable habits such as urine marking. But worse than that: they can develop prostate problems, or even testicular or prostate cancer, and again it usually occurs when the dog is older and surgery is riskier.

It is wise to have your pets spayed or neutered for their own health and to help with population control.

Answer 2

First of all, unless you plan on breeding, there is not reason for you to not spay or neuter your animal. Not only will you not have to worry about them going into heat, if it's a female and, and getting blood everwhere and having stray dogs coming after your dog, or running off to go find a female in heat if it's a male. Plus it always wanting to mark territory and being hiperactive most of the time. You also cut down on health risks that can develope later in life. It is very easy for unfixed dogs to develope cancers and tumors. Not to mention the overbreeding of dogs is leading to too many dogs having to live in shelter and being put to sleep because no one will give them a home. So unless you plan to breed, get it fixed.

Answer 3

There are many reasons from preventing cancer in both the female and males. Also to prevent unwanted pregnancy's. There are alot of animals in the dog shelters that need good homes and if their owners had their parents fixed they wouldn't be waiting to be put down due to lack of homes for them. Isn't that reason enough?

Answer 4

You don't as long as you are responsible. That means never letting your female around males when she is in season, and that can be hard for some people. If you will not be able to keep on top of it, it is best to get them fixed.

I generally don't have mine altered and after showing dogs for 30 years I have never had an accidental breeding. You have to be vigilant though.

Answer 5

you dont. It cuts down on unwanted puppies and is healthy for your dog. Spaying a female prevents unwanted males wandering around your home. Also it keeps her from getting certain cancers in the uterus or because of horomones. Also she wont go into heat. Most females can become very aggressive when they go into heat.

It keeps males from looking for females. Elliminates cancers in the testes and because of horomones. Males are less likely to fight other males and be dominant

Answer 6

You don't HAVE to.But it's better for you and your pet if they are altered.
Pet is calmer and chances of getting cancer and ovarian cysts are reduced drastically and you don't have to worry about dogs and cats running off when in heat and how to care for the pregnant animal or how to get rid of a litter.

Answer 7

It helps control the animal population. There are many animals that are unwanted or without homes, If you spayed/neutered them it won't contribute to the problem.

Answer 8

Because we already have to kill millions of dogs each year because so many people DON't Spay or Neuter their pets.

Besides that there are some health and beahvioral advantages to spaying and neutering.

Answer 9

The reason people do that is so the animal doesn't get pregnant, or cause another animal to get pregnant. Hope I've helped you to understand!

Answer 10

Cuts down on unwanted puppies. Reduces their chances of cancer and other medical problems.
