The best age for dog birth control:

1. Female dogs

Generally speaking, it is best for female dogs after their first heat. . Because the female dog has gone through an estrus, the pituitary gland, ovaries and the entire hormonal cycle have gone through it. At this time, the female dog's sexual orientation is stable, and all aspects of personality and development have reached the most complete stage. It is the best time for sterilization surgery.

2. Male dogs

As for male dogs, it can be determined according to the owner’s wishes. Generally, male dogs will have the concept of occupying territory after they reach sexual maturity. Many owners do not like their dogs raising their legs to urinate everywhere at home, so they choose to have male dogs neutered when they are 6 months old. But because it has not gone through the stage of sexual maturity, it may not be good for physical development. Therefore, most animal doctors recommend that male dogs be sterilized at 9 to 10 months. Although they can already lift their legs by this time, their male hormones have begun to develop, which is better for the dog's health. Generally speaking, as for the age for sterilization, doctors say that in theory it can be done at any age. However, considering that the operation requires general anesthesia, there are certain risks. It should only be done as a last resort for older dogs. Young dogs are recommended to be sterilized in 4 to 6 months abroad. However, some doctors consider the growth and development needs of male dogs. Surgery can be performed again after 8 months.

Benefits of neutering dogs:

1. Block the dog’s estrus troubles, stabilize the dog’s mood, and reduce the dog’s loss of appetite.

2. Female dogs can avoid pyometra, and male dogs can avoid reproductive organ diseases and shorten the dog’s lifespan.

3. Make the dog’s character docile and more loving. If you can’t control your dog during heat and you don’t want them to have children, it’s best to have them neutered.
