Problem: Spaying a dog is a far more invasive surgery than neutering is, due to the need to enter the abdominal cavity to remove the uterus and the ovaries in a ovariohysterectomy. The act of opening the abdominal cavity increases the risk of infection in dogs due to exposing inner tissues and organs to a potentially non sterile environment. To counteract the risk of infection, many doctors preemptively prescribe antibiotics to the dogs, however, Shiloh Veterinary Hospital does not. The antibiotics usually serve the purpose of keeping the dogs infection free, but it also contributes to the evolution of antibiotic resistant diseases that are far more dangerous to the animals.
Knowing which dog breeds are the most and least susceptible to infection
that method is absolutely cruel and painful, the veterinary method is not pain free either.
Female dogs can get all kinds of health issues when the female dog isn’t spayed by a certain age. I know some people choose to impregnate their dogs and have puppies to sell. After about five years it is best to spay your dog, if you do not plan to have puppies. If of course, you have no plans of your female having puppies at all, please spay as soon as you are able too.

Becker said, “a complete removal of the gonads...can force the adrenal glands to produce sex hormones”( Becker para 33). This means the adrenal glands over work themselves by doing extra work, and it’s difficult to keep up with the body’s demand for sex hormones. Just like any other organ, every organ is important for the body to function well. Removing these valuable organs would be removing the bodies ability to produce significant sex-hormone secreting tissues. She uses variety of research studies on disorders and diseases linked to spaying and neutering to support the fact that spaying and neutering worsens the health of a dog, whereas sterilization would be the solution to the
Before every foster care or adoption process takes place, an employee of the enterprise conducts either a group information session with several prospective foster carers/adopters or individual sessions with the primary future dog carer to discuss many aspects of caring for greyhounds, and preventative health care is a major topic for discussion. All dogs are desexed and microchipped prior to adoption and there is no space for argument in this matter. Desexing is important for several reasons but two of the most significant reasons are to decrease the chance of cancer and to mediate any aggressive behaviours. Fleaing and worming is encouraged monthly, and three months worth of this treatment is given to adopters. While at the shelter, I did encounter flea dirt on one of the dogs I was

Though, there are many fears people have about the process of spaying and neutering. Some people come up with myths that can persuade others and motivate them not to get their animal spayed or neutered. “It’s better to have one litter before spaying a pet,” (“Myths and Facts”). This myth is not true, every litter counts and those females whom are spayed before they ever have their first heat are typically healthier. Also animals are now allowed to be spayed as young as eight weeks, and the procedure should be done as soon as possible. “But my pet is a purebred,” just because the animal is purebred does not necessarily make it any more special, some of the animals that go into shelters are purebreds as well, its breed does not stop it from being euthanized. “I want my dog to be protective,” dogs have natural instincts to protect its home and family, its personality is more defined by its environment and genetics than its sex hormones. Neutering the dog will not affect its behavior negatively; it will make the dog less territorial but still can sense

Even though they have a good home they may be bread for puppies and those puppies who don’t get homes might be taken to the pound. Some dogs have had litter and then been abandoned because they now have a new dog to love.
