How do you neuter a male dog?

Answer 1

This is done by surgery, and should be preformed by a vet. They casterate the dog by removing the testicles. it does not remove them, it just cuts the cord going from one side of them to the other, this enables them to mate.

Answer 2

Yes, but depending on the size of your dog, 1 years of age may be far too young to neuter a dog. Most owners and a lot of vets advise that the optimum age is 18 months old, although some large breeds will likely benefit from being castrated at a later age.

Similar advice goes for female dogs also, with the general consensous that a female should be spayed 3 months after the first season for a small-medium sized dog, or, for large and giant breeds, it should be done after the second or third season as this allows more time for the dog to mature properly.

The reason for waiting is all down to physical and mental growth of the dog. There have been many studies that show that allowing them to finish growing properly in regards to bone growth is beneficial, and the presence of the repoductive hormones actually shut off the growth hormones. It is thought that dogs spayed or nuetered too early, the growth hormones aren't shut off when it naturally would be. The "excess" bone growth can cause joint and ligament problems such as cruciate and can cause joint problems such as arthiritis or hip or elbow dysplasia later on in a dog's life. Larger dogs particarly are at a higher risk of these problems.
