What is sterilization?
Sterilization is the process of “de-sexing” an animal. For males, it is called neutering, which is the removal of the testes. For females, it is called spaying, which is either the tying of the ovarian tubes or a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and ovaries).
What is Neutering?
Neutering removes the testes, which is the primary source of testosterone in the body. It would result in reducing behaviours associated with testosterone.
- It contributes to reduce aggressiveness towards other dogs and humans
- It will help calm them down
- It also has multiple health benefits like it reduces the risk of testicular cancer and prostate problems
- The personality or character of the dog does not change
Spaying can be done either by tying the tubes, or a hysterectomy (removal of the ovaries and uterus) in female dogs.
- Ovarian cysts, uterine infections (eg. Pyometra) and cancer of the reproductive tract are no longer a concern.
- Studies have shown that dogs spayed before puberty have a significantly lower chance of developing breast cancer than unspayed dogs.
- The worry of the female dog being ‘on heat’ or the mess associated with the menstrual cycle wouldn’t be an issue either, which makes people more inclined to adopt our wonderful female dogs as concerns regarding an unexpected pregnancy won’t arise.
