Dog castration is necessary to prevent unwanted litters, reduce aggressive behaviors, and lower the risk of certain cancers. It also helps avoid territorial marking and roaming.

Dog Castration (Neutering)

Age for Procedure

Neutering is typically done between 4-6 months. Smaller breeds can be neutered as early as 8 weeks, while larger breeds may wait until 12-18 months.

Health Benefits

Prevents testicular cancer, reduces the risk of prostate disease, and hormonal imbalances.

Procedure

Performed under general anesthesia; testicles are removed through a small incision, with minimal risks.

Pre- and Post-Surgery Care

Pre-surgical health checks and fasting are necessary. Post-op care includes monitoring the incision, using an E-collar, and limiting activity for 7-10 days.

Myths

Neutering doesn't cause weight gain or change core personality, but it may reduce unwanted behaviors.

Long-Term Benefits

Neutered dogs are easier to socialize and neutering helps control pet overpopulation.
