Spaying & Neutering The most important decision you need to make as your puppy reaches sexual maturity involves spaying and neutering. Unless you plan on breedi...ng or showing your dog, many veterinarians recommend spaying and neutering. Timing is an important consideration, in addition to whether or not to spay or neuter at all. Allowing a female pup to have one heat cycle helps to be sure she is mature and finished growing. When a puppy is spayed or neutered before reaching full maturity, there may be a risk of future orthopedic problems. In puppies, hormones instruct the growth plates when to close. Spaying before puberty causes the growth plates, which are still open, to remain open longer. This can make the dog or bitch orthopedically out of balance. AKC Canine Health Foundation-funded research has led to the following conclusion: Most dogs in the United States are spayed or neutered, and for years the procedures have been completed prior to maturity. The research suggests that veterinarians should be more cautious about the age at which they spay and neuter in order to protect the overall health of dogs. Research results have shown that early spay or neuter (before the age of 12 months) can impact the incidence of different types of cancer, hip dysplasia, and development of canine cruciate ligament ruptures. In an article entitled Long-Term Health Risks and Benefits Associated with Spay / Neuter in Dogs, author Laura J. Sanborn, M.S. says: An objective reading of the veterinary medical literature reveals a complex situation with respect to the long-term health risks and benefits associated with spay/neuter in dogs. The evidence shows that spay/neuter correlates with both positive and adverse health effects in dogs. It also suggests how much we really do not yet understand about this subject. The decision of when and whether to spay or neuter a dog isn’t one to be taken lightly, says Dr. Jerry Klein, AKC chief veterinarian officer. The AKC believes that these important decisions should be made on an individual basis by the owner of the dog in conjunction with his or her veterinarian. See full article here:
