Are the benefits of altering a dog the same no matter what the age of the dog?

Most dogs should be spayed or neutered, yes. However, a very mellow dog may not need it, or an older dog, or a dog in ill health may not be a good candidate for the procedure. A female dog past puppy-bearing age doesn't need to be spayed any more. Talk to your vet about your concerns and what the options are.

Is it better for male dogs to be neutered?

In some cases. Castration of male dogs will prevent testicular cancer (he can't get cancer in a part he doesn't have), and will significantly reduce the dog's production of testosterone--which may make the dog less aggressive or dominant with other dogs, but absolutely will not make up for improper training. It will render the dog sterile, which is an important consideration if you are unable to control and contain your dog well enough to prevent accidental pregnancies from any female dogs in the vicinity. Of course, if you can't control your dog, you may want to rethink having a dog at all. Castration prior to sexual maturity will affect the growth of the dog, generally producing a taller animal with diminished secondary sex characteristics and a thinner structure. If the dog is neutered after he is fully grown, these traits will not be affected. Many castrated dogs will have reduced caloric needs due to a more sedentary lifestyle, and therefore must be exercised more and fed less to maintain them at a healthy weight. Other cancers and conditions are more common among castrated dogs--most notably osteosarcoma. Prostate problems and hypothyroidism also appear to have an increased occurrence in neutered dogs. If you are interested in showing your dog in conformation dog shows, keep in mind that neutered (and spayed) dogs are not allowed to compete. No surgical procedure or hormonal change will take the place of proper training. A well-trained, properly maintained male dog will be an equally good pet whether neutered or not, and the decision should come down to a discussion with your veterinarian, your dog's breeder, and considering local laws. Neutering a dog will not prevent him from ever becoming ill, nor will it condemn him to a lifetime of negative conditions. Without training, it will not prevent him from lifting his leg, roaming, humping, or fighting with other dogs. It's more than possible to be a responsible pet owner no matter whether your pet is altered or not.
