Dorsetdog - Neutering and Spaying your pets
![]() Illnesses such as testicular cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer as well as infections and the like. It also reduces the risk of them roaming, jumping fences to find a mate and also calms them down. Bitches in heat can also escape and roam whilst looking to mate. ![]() Allowing your male dog to mate could encourage anti-social tendencies like urinating in the home, and inappropriate sexual behaviour. Be responsible, spay or neuter your pet! Leaving a pet unaltered is dangerous, not only for them but for the offspring they may end up having. However, it is imperative that you do not spay or neuter your pet at too young an age. The dog is still developing, with chemical changes going on in its body as well as the general growth of the dog. Operating on a dog too early in its life can adversely affect its temperament - and its health later on
