Dogs owners find it difficult to decide whether to have the dog neutered or not. Neutering is often the option of responsible dog owners that are aware of the tragic plight of stray dogs – of the animals considered as man’s best friends that have to be put to sleep for being homeless. A dog owner with no plans of breeding would make sure that the pet is neutered so as not to add to the stray dogs problem.

To prevent reproduction, the testicles of the dog are surgically removed. Would you believe that neutering aside from minimizing the number of homeless dogs also promises to give the dog longer, healthier and happier life. Healthier – because a neutered dog will not be open to the risk of testicle cancer. Neutering controls the hormone level of a dog thus bad behavior that is associated with the dog’s mood swings is as well controlled. Neutering decreases a male dog’s inclination to roam thus the possibility of accidents that can snuff the life of the pet will be lessened.

The benefits of neutering a dog is established but dog owners still have doubts on the right time to have the pet neutered . There are many beliefs about neutering the pet. Many owners believe that if the dog is neutered at an early age the physical development as well as the personality of the dog will be affected.

The playful and affectionate nature are some of the reasons why most people would choose to have a dog for a pet thus many owners would not dare neuter the dog at an early age because of the belief that the procedure will make the pet less playful and affectionate. Dog experts refute the veracity of these beliefs. Neutering the dog at any age will not affect the physical development and would not erase the dog’s admirable qualities. When is the right time to have the pet neutered?

Actually, a dog can be neutered at any age but of course this does not apply to newborn puppies. Pets that are obtained from the breeder will know the right age of the dog but this will not be possible if the dog is adopted from a shelter. The neutering procedure can be done on a dog at any age providing the testicles have descended but as the primary reason for neutering is to prevent reproduction, it would be best if the dog is neutered before it has attained sexual maturity. A Shih Tzu or any other toy breeds can be neutered at six months as these breed gain sexual maturity early. Dog experts recommend neutering large breeds at about 1 year of age as Great Danes, GSD and other large dogs take longer to mature sexually.
