I love male and female both dogs alike but that does not mean that I want population of puppies, I know when we think about spaying a dog, it can be scary and that's why we take a lot of time to make a final decision as only thing comes in our mind is a surgery and no matter if the surgery is big or small, we only think and try to delay the process as much as we can because of the picture of surgery in our mind. But it is always recommended to spay your dog as early as possible and if possible before she turns two, sooner the better.
More then 70% female dogs suffer frompseudopregnancy / false pregnancy, it is caused due to changes in the endocrine system of the body, leading to the secretionof hormones which translate into physical changes similar to those during pregnancy and cause various side effects, and it increases the risk of breast cancer and unwanted pregnancy.Spaying is one of the most important surgeries that you really need to make sure that your female dog has and it will be one of the wise decision you make which will definitely reduce the risk of breast cancer of your female dog 100% reduce the risk of an unwanted pregnancy. Spaying provides many health benefits for a dog and insures a longer and healthy life.
I know that we all are scared of spaying our dog because we want to avoid the surgery but spaying your female dog is a routine procedure that your vet could probably do in his/her sleep and it will last for about 2 hours, but to the average pet parent, it can be scary having your dog put under anesthesia. But let me tell you that anesthesia effect varies from dog to dog and your dog might even go home walking on his/her own.
Here are the benefits of spaying a dog:
Spayed dogs do not experience heat cycles. We all know when a female dog comes into heat, she will bleed from her vagina or vulva and that attracts large number of male dogs. There is inconvenience for the owner and the female dog and it is really frustrating for the pet owner. Spayed female dogs will never come into heat
