Unfortunately, many veterinarians still promote early spay

Hope you do the right choice to not do it.

my dog is pomeranian is that ok he just got neutered at 7 months

@@dr_yoube My veterinary doctor told me to wait until growth of body and bones is complete and ended. But I decided let him to be intact. He is fine as he is.

Please get a new vet that actually cares about your pet and not just money if a vet tells you it's ok to neuter or spay your pet I promise they do not care about your pet now if they tell you not to they care about your pet mainly because spaying or neutering your pet actually shortens there life span and they are more likely to become depressed or over all give up I know from personal experience I had multiple pets that were neutered and spayed against my own opinion and all but one became depressed and eventually died within a short amount of time only one survived and she absolutely hated people after that

⁠@@savagemcadams836finally someone agrees with this spaying and neutering is abuse

Sounds like my dog. But he gets super excited to where his junk will flip inside out so it's exposed Weiner and ball meat and it's SWOLLEN. I'm getting him neutered today. I just want him to be happy and not be in pain too.

@@dumplingsoupss Yeah, when a male dog is overly excited (not necessary sexually) his penis will come out. My dog is much more calmer now and doesn't mark territory, doesn't hump, and he also has reverted to squatting down to pee at times- which I was not expecting. However, he still has issues with unfixed male dogs which is a bummer.

⁠@@cm6995how old was your dog when you neutered. And is it a smaller dog or big?

@@BiglariProductions 11 months, he is a medium sized dog, Bully mix.

@@cm6995my German shepherd is a year and 3 months, should I neuter him now he’s very aggressive towards people and especially when people walk by our house when he’s outside. I get he’s defensive but he needs to tone it down. And he likes to mark on every tree we walk past lmao

In texas they won't let you take a non spayed/neutered dog home from the shelters

​@@JamesJones-tu4pqthey do the same in Tennessee. But that means that the people aren't doing our jobs and being controlled by government.

Same in Louisiana I was upset that they wouldn't let me take my dog home unless he was neutered he's only like 2 1/2 months he's 11 weeks

@@JamesJones-tu4pqAustin Animal Center will

It doesn't matter if it's veterinary medicine or something else, with anything where the person that's advising you to spend money on something, also involves hiring that individual, you should always be wary.

@@frankpaya690 word salad

There is hormone sparing sterilization alternatives that can be done sooner as they don't significantly change hormones. Google it should bring up more info. Many people don't have the resources or education around this, I wouldn't call it irresponsible. "Those with the resources and time and education" vs. those that do not. insisting (mostly) poor people go with an option that will, according to emerging research, will decrease their pets lifespan and increase vet costs, is a bit messed up.

@@hefoxed You are not answering my comment. I did not speak about resources or education and certainly didn’t link my comment to people who were financially underprivileged. Responsibility, or the lack of is not the prerogative of a particular economic group. Responsibility and it’s opposite, Irresponsibility is related to wilful ignorance and inconsideration of the result of a persons actions.

Propaganda! Neuter yourself by your logic

@@OmiOneandOnly-gk5sx Your nonsensical reply is a very good display of your inability to face the consequences of your illogical beliefs. Not neutering your male dog or female dog means lots of puppies. Who will feed them, look after them, treat them when they become ill? Overpopulation quickly occurs. Be responsible.

@@christinevalentine3373 Yeah and you make so much sense bc someone told you this bs and you obey like the robot you are. My male and female dog are both intact and haven’t had 1 litter… bc I’m responsible

Swwinnggaannnaa Missss! You couldn’t be anymore wrong! If any pd still using a German shepherd I’m sure he’s about to retire and if not it’s less then 2% nationwide 98% of pd use belgian malinois and no they are not the same thing

​@@timothyross2944another thing is if they do have German shepherds they are cloned form some of the best of the best German shepherds or are mixed

Same

Should be a crime

I have a male Persian cat he got neutered today but he's two years old. I'm glad my vet told me to wait until he starts causing issues like spraying

Or you better not make it all.

Don't do it at all

We had a $2,500 pure breed chihuahua that we spayed along with another male to prevent them from breeding and they both died premature. We regret not getting the chihuahua mated because we wanted a puppy from her and she died a few years after being spayed. They say all kinds of negative things that aren’t true to every dog. My dog is 27 1/2 inches at the shoulders and I’m sure she can fly over the 3 1/2 foot small fence we have yet she don’t go anywhere like they say she would in heat. I would first see if he is ok not fixed and decide for yourself if it is necessary. He most likely will be depressed and grouchy after you fix him from my experience and cut 1/3 of his life span. This is just my personal experience with multiple animals . If you do it do it because you see a reason to not just because they tell you to. Blessings.

Actually please don't do it at all. It is a myth that spaying and neutering does anything for aggression and temperament. If you must, as in you cannot do management, then please consider doing a partial spay or neuter. You may have a difficult time finding a vet that knows how to do it though. The reason is that other bodily functions require those same hormones not just the things he touches on in this video. He is referring to one study. That study showed that when they neutered early, the growth plates don't close in the long bones and it leads to hip and elbow dysplasia, especially in larger dogs. TBH though, there is no way of saying that we know everything metabolically about dog hormones and what those hormones are required for, as far as other certain functions in our dogs bodies and during different stages of life all the way to death. They have hormones for a reason and they change over time for a reason. Just be aware that always spaying and neutering is not the best practice and that their are other options if you seek them out.

Their bones will not be brittle if they are well bred and fed a healthy diet.

wild, looking into this!

wow this is nuts

Poor dog.

Why? It’s pointless unless she will be wondering the streets

Please do some more research instead of just listening to one person. Hormones are required for your dogs entire life and if you must spay you can do a partial spay that leaves ovaries for hormones.

Also just so you are aware, it is a myth that spaying and neutering does anything for a dogs or cats temperament or lowers aggression.

Poor dog why would you ruin her like that just give her to a better home that actually cares about her and her health

Cancer and health issues as a puppy? It’s more important your dog develops completely to reduce the chance of issues in the future. I got my beagle fixed too early and that was the last mistake I’ll ever make with a dog.

Yea..notice how dogs at 2 years old who are neutetrd end up having many health issues.

It actually depends on the dog and the dogs genetic code. Some dogs do better neutering early, others not so much. What this guy is saying is partially true. It does stunt the development of joint plates. And in some dogs the small amount of underdevelopment can be enough to cause problems but at the same time some of those dogs could have developed issues regardless of neutering or not. You cannot fully predict those things but you can be safer than sorry

And by neutering it who’s earning the money? The doctor or the company they’re working for

Usually vets that work with pounds are the ones to suggest early spay to prevent cancer but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that now it increases cancer?? Idk it's messed up tho because I'm pretty sure the vets was lying just to prevent more stray puppies ending up in shelter. My dogs vet that we go to now won't even spay or neuter a dog until at least 6 months. There's some close to me that will do it at 8 weeks.

I just rescued a puppy and I am looking into tubal litigation because they’re forcing me to spay by 6 months

Good question

You can now use Canine Hormone by Mercola to compensate well. It is a powder you sprinkle on their food.

It’s a phase that he would have come out of if you were more patient with him

There is tons of proof

yes. If you think its cruel to spay you shouldnt have gotten a dog in the first place as you cant think rationally.

I don’t see your point

@@MrSilus2000 The main point of my comment is to clarify the effects of spaying and neutering on a dog's growth hormones and to emphasize that while there may be a slight effect, it is generally minimal and other factors such as breed, genetics, nutrition, and exercise play a more significant role in a dog's growth and development. I also highlight the importance of proper care and attention to these factors in ensuring the healthy growth and development of a dog. TLDR: I’m emphasizing that actual research suggests the effects of what the original video creator described are highly dramatized and have little to no impact on the growth and development of a dog.

​@@YTAccount82825i don't know what research your are referring to, but if you dont think taking away your dogs hormones doesn't have a significant effect on its development, you are nuts. Any good vet wont recommend it while the dog is developing. Honestly a good vet wont recommend it at all unless there is a high likelihood that your dog will reproduce.

​@@YTAccount82825you need to quote what you are talking about..

@YTAccount82825 I disagree. This is a lie the public is being told to supposedly control potential backyard breeding etc. Hormones are necessary for overall health beyond just growth plates and joints. Certainly, a different species, but really, would you desex a 12 year old human? Of course not! I suspect early desexing is also contributing to behavioral issues and aggression. Wait. Be responsible and don't allow breeding but look out for your pet's entire health and well being.

Not really good information would be telling not to neuter your pet do to the shorten lifespan and other repercussions of spaying your animal it's really sad the depression these poor animals go through

The breed looks like Australian Cattle dog.

ok lets assume that there are mosquitos now you would want that mosquito to stop breeding or sucking ur blood that is why neutering is good, it can lead to more puppies or other shit that you dont want and also cancer

then dont get organ transplants. its not normal or natural.

it keeps them from suffering

​​@ArtemisZpack exactly. It helps control the pet population because it's a big issue And unless you want your dog to suffer and get cancer then spay the dog

@ArtemisZpack I'm just saying for a dogs health

Take your vaccine booster
