At what age can dogs be neutered
British Bulldog (detailed introduction)
Generally, after their own dogs have mated once or given birth once, many owners choose to neuter their dogs. Because with increasing age, many diseases gradually appear, especially for female dogs, various problems follow one after another. Neutering can effectively prevent some diseases. So at what age can dogs be neutered, and what is the most appropriate age to do so?
It is worth noting that neutering surgery for pets must be performed during the non-estrus period. If the pet dog happens to be in heat, neutering must wait until after the heat period ends, because neutering during heat may cause heavy bleeding. Normally, pets can be neutered after their first heat. Of course, dogs can still be neutered after reaching adulthood.
After the dog is neutered, do not forget to put an Elizabethan collar on them to prevent licking their wounds. Also, the diet must be changed afterward, because dogs tend to gain weight easily after neutering, so the fat content in their food should be correspondingly reduced.
