First, the benefits of dog sterilization

1, reduce the number of stray dogs.

Reducing the number of puppies is actually reducing the number of stray dogs and avoiding the tragic fate of dogs. Many people don't have sterilization, and puppies are left unattended. This is also mentioned at the beginning, the owner's feeding conditions, after all, it is not enough to take care of the dog just to eat and drink, but also to care and accompany.

2. Extend the life of dogs.

This is because persistent and excessive reproductive activities will accelerate the aging of body organs and shorten the life span of dogs.

3. Reduce the risk of abandonment

Reduce the risk of being donated and abandoned. Because sterilization has changed the dog's personality, they have put an end to some bad habits that annoy their owners, such as defecating everywhere, wandering around, barking uneasily and so on.

Dogs become well-behaved, docile and likable, and prefer company, thus reducing the possibility of dogs being abandoned by their owners.

Second, the disadvantages of dog sterilization

Because sterilization is very common, mature and safe now, the danger during the operation and in the recovery stage can be basically ignored. But I still list it, hoping that the host will not be too careless.

2, easy to get fat

This has been said in the previous "Reasons for Dog Obesity". Dogs will be as fat as blowing a ball after sterilization. Of course, the health problems related to it should also be paid attention to. Eat reasonably and exercise reasonably.

3. Increase the prevalence of some diseases.

Sterilization of male dogs before the age of one will increase the risk of bone cancer, which is common in medium and large dogs and difficult to prevent. Female dogs sterilized in adolescence will increase the risk of vaginitis, vaginal dermatitis and vulvitis.
