The best time to sterilize a Samoyed

Usually we think that the best time for a dog to be sterilized is the period before the first estrus. Most dogs will go into heat for the first time when they are 6 months old. Of course, the time may be delayed or advanced due to the influence of many factors. If we miss this time point, we can also choose the period between the dog's estrus. Dogs in heat are not suitable for neutering surgery. A dog's estrus usually lasts about 3 weeks.

Benefits of Samoyed sterilization

1. Generally, the sterilization surgery for female dogs involves removal of the ovaries and the part above the cervix. Because of this, female dogs can avoid problems caused by pyometra and ovarian cysts.
2. It can also avoid the dilemma of soiling the home environment due to menstrual cycle.
3. However, it should be noted that neutering surgery has certain risks, mainly due to the anesthesia. Some dogs may not wake up because they cannot tolerate the anesthesia. The older the dog, the greater the risk.
