how do vet's desex dogs? a male will have a small incision near the scrotum where the testicles will be removed. a female will have an incision on the abdomen where the ovaries and uterine horns have been removed. it will change them by allowing them not to add to pet overpopulation, and also make them a better, happier, healthier pet. intact males and females are at risk for many cancers associated with not being altered. males tend to roam in search of females, and get into deadly fights and hit by cars. males and females can also tend to be more dominant and aggressive if not altered. some pain is expected with any procedure, but do not compare what you would feel to what you dog might be feeling. you are not a dog and your dog is not a human. dog's have a higher pain tolerance, and often are back to normal in a matter of a day or two. if your dog seems to be in pain, ask your vet if they send home pain meds for pain management, many do. the best time to have your pet desexed, depending on size of the dog is between 4-6 months. spaying a female before she goes into her first heat can reduce the chance of breast cancer later in life to almost zero, and neutering the males can stop intact male behavior before it becomes a learned behavior that causes other problems. good luck, and please have your dog spayed or neutered. you are not only doing what's best for you and your pet, but you are possibly saving thousands of lives by not allowing them to breed.

I'm assuming you're asking how they desex dogs.

Males are put under and their testicles are removed. Females are put under and undergo a complete hysterectomy (all reproductive organs are removed).

They won't be in pain during the surgery because they will be out, but I'm sure there is some discomfort afterwards. But if properly cared for, most recover relatively quickly and easily.

As far as change, it will change an animal, but usually for the better. Males tend to be less aggressive and territorial, and females don't go through those annoying heat cycles which can change their personalities drastically when they're going on.

A dog can be neutered or spayed at any time, but puppies usually go in between 4-8 months (depending on the vet).

Spaying/neutering is one of the best things you can do for your pet. Besides ridding them of their primal urges (which generally improves their temperaments), spaying/neutering also decreases their chances of reproductive cancers.

When you refer to dogs I don't know if you mean male or bitches so I will tell you about both. When a female (*****) is speyed she has both ovaries removed and the uterus up to the level of the cervix. This is known as an ovariohysterectomy. It has many advantages including reduction in the incidence of mamary tumours, eliminates the problems of false pregnancies and of pyometra as well as th obvious absence of oestrus (heat/season)
When a male dog is speyed this is known as Orchidectomy and means the removal of both testes. This prevents unwanted breeding, roaming, territorial spraying (in most cases),excessive libido and can reduce aggression. Dogs are generally speyed around 6 to 9 months. The pain is minimul as the vet will give them painkillers and antibiotics to prevent infection. I hope this helps you out xx
