Vet Advice | Should I Neuter My Dog?

Neutering is a topic that all pet owners think about at some point. In this video, Agria's Behaviourist and Trainer, Carolyn Menteith, discusses neutering with our Senior Veterinary Advisor Robin Hargreaves. They cover the pros and cons of neutering, when it might be a good time to spey or castrate your dog, and some of the myths and facts around dog neutering, to help dog owners make the right decision for their dog.

Great video. Really pleased I did not neuter my male PWD dog. Nearly caved in over pressure of prostate cancer. Booked my dog for op but met a wonderful vet who reassured me that 6 monthly checks would be recommended. He is over 10 years old and as has never been unwell, just an grass seed in his paw and an neighbours aggressive dog escaped ran onto our drive and attacked his leg. Thinking of moving him to Agria pet insurance.

Why would anyone want to interrupt the endocrine system of a canines. We won't do it to the most horrendous in the human population....

So when is it recommended to spay a female to avoid incontinence issues?

[@awaken3202]

After her first heat cycle

@@awaken3202 Thank you. I know there is controversy on this but this is what I am going with. Now waiting for my 9 month old Border Collie to have her first heat and then have her spayed.

@@ericksonsails be sure to wait at least 2 weeks after her heat :)
Best of luck with it all
