Not every dog owner wishes to breed his or her dog. If you are one of these people, you may consider spaying or neutering. There are quite a few overlooked benefits to this such as:
- Keep our dog from roaming and getting injured or lost.
- Avoid unwanted litters
- Eliminate sexual frustration, mounting or humping
- Eliminate urinary marking of ‘territory’
- Avoid dominance aggression over other dogs
- Possibly avoid a variety of physical conditions including certain types of cancer.
So you see, there are quite a few advantages to spaying and neutering. Talk to your local veterinarian for more information.
