Puppies that are unwanted and end up at the pound then they cannot find a home and are put to sleep. Also down the road it helps some if an animal gets ill, such as Diabetes. You don't want other dogs coming into your yard when they smell the scent, or your male will take off for a few days causing you worry on where is he? He will go to find a female
According to the American Humane Society an estimated 9.6 million animals are euthanized in the United States every year. Out of 1,000 shelters responding to a survey, 2.7 million of 5.3 million animals or 64% were euthanized. 56% of dogs and 71% of cats that enter shelters were euthanized. 15% of dogs and 2% of cats were reunited with their owners; 25% of dogs and 24% of cats were adopted. The majority of these are euthanized at animal shelters, typically after a standard period of time (ranging from several days to several weeks for unclaimed stray animals).
No, spaying does not in any way inhibit growth and is actually very beneficial to the dog's health.
No.
you should get a professional opinion from your vet, after all he/she would be doing the spaying only if your dog's health would not be compromised.
yes it is. Spaying is done to females and castrating is done to males. spaying refers to tying the tubes up and castrating is removing the testicles. So after either operation the dog has been desexed.
Yes, spaying does have many, many health benefits for your Dog. Spaying eliminates the risk of womb infections, ovarian cancer and cervical cancer - which are all life-threatening. If your Dog is spayed before her first season she has virtually no risk of developing yet another extremely common and life-threatening disease - mammary cancer. Whereas, if your Dog is left unspayed until she is 2 years old, her risk of getting these diseases has already reached its maximum. The older a female gets without spaying, the more likely it is that she will develop a life-threatening disease. Apart from improving her health, spaying prevents more unwanted litters and stops her from bleeding and having sometimes painful seasons (heat cycles).
No. Spaying is not a reversible procedure.
Yes, because NOT spaying and neutering can lead to serious health and behavior problems!
There are no real downsides to spaying. Spaying prevents unwanted litters and could save your dog's life by preventing life-threatening womb infections or mammary tumours.
No, if your dog is vomiting, monitor it closely and take it to a vet.
