Why get a dog neutered?

[Pip_The_GSD]

So many people are talking about their neutered dogs and getting their dogs neutered, I'm curious to know why you would want to get a dog neutered?

animals can be neutered for many reasons, i for one have to get my white gsd neutered due to his one undescended testicle and couldnt careless if he lost his horny side. at the end of the day medical wise its safer to have it done rather then risk the hidden nut becoming cancerous which could result into further problems

Yes, that's true. There are always exceptions though. Sad thing is the majority are that way.

Agreed. I am currently looking for a new vet because the last one I went to said my boy would need to be neutered if he ever nips his dick while grooming himself again. Like, how the fuck is neutering him going to prevent him from licking himself. It was an accident and a one time ordeal. Jumping to surgery is ridiculous

You know why. Knock it off.

So tired of this bullshit.

Yes, but not very usual if there is no reason for it, as the operation is a bit more complex.

cats undertandable if it effects hygiene in the house.

No balls though = no cum
But also evevn though it may be hard to tell. Test is still a harmone. Its shoudk be given ti humans at a certain age. It would stop so many health problems.
So if it does for humans. Be only the same for the k9 crew. Isnt like they can get bloods done in case another harmones not balenced and all youd see if just random helath issues that get symptoms treat. Bit sad realy the lack of understanding behind it. Unless theres some serious aggression or behaviour issues that cant be trained out.

I started thinking about this spay/neuter thing. I think it started in the US as a form of animal birth control and has grown out of control, at least as far as dogs are concerned. For example, California requires it, penalties can include criminal charges. There are exemptions for special situations. California even provides financial assistance for spay/neuter. California is not unique.

Most towns and cities have leash laws. Dogs aren't allowed to run free. Seems that would keep dogs from reproducing even if they weren't neutered. So, to me, the population control argument no longer applies.

Here's a comment from a website that advocates for spay/neuter. https://vetexplainspets.com
"As more states adopt mandatory spay and neuter laws, we can look forward to a future where all animals are valued and protected."

These laws seem to make exceptions for pure breeds and service animals, but otherwise a person could find themselves in legal trouble if they don't neuter their dog. I haven't found a site that lists spay/neuter laws by state or city, so be careful about where you choose to live.

I did find this for some local ordinances.

Would leaving the dog at the keeper -where some bitches are- is a good enough reason ?
Finding an other keeper is an option. I am afraid the surgery may leave a permanent disconfort to the dog.
