When can dogs be neutered?
Dogs can be sterilized when they are over six months old. The ideal time for sterilization of dogs is 6-9 months. If the owner has no plans to breed the dog, the sooner the dog is neutered, the better. Neutering as early as possible is conducive to wound recovery and can also prevent the occurrence of estrus behavior in dogs.
What are the benefits of dog sterilization?
After a dog is sterilized, it can reduce the occurrence of estrus behavior and relieve the dog's stress. The dog's temperament will become docile, which can reduce the probability of dog reproductive system diseases, extend the dog's life span, and avoid unexpected pregnancy and reproduction.
Neutered dogs need to pay attention to their diet
Obesity may occur after sterilization surgery. After the wound has fully recovered, the owner needs to pay attention to strengthening the dog's exercise. During the sterilization period, you can consider changing the dog's dog food to sterilization prescription food.
