Do you think its wrong to Neuter your Pet Maybe if you had to give them up, and wasnt sure about their next owner, but what other reason is good enough to do that

Unless you have a dog/cat that you plan to breed neutering/spaying is the responsible thing to do. There is a huge overpopulation of dogs and cats in this country. My opinion is it makes for a better quality pet as well.

Its a good idea to have it done unless you want to take responsibility for the pets offspring

it is the right thing to do. Too many animals born and not enough homes for them, then they get put down or used for animal testing.


Of course in my opinion, there are a lot of people that should be "fixed" too.

Does it take anything away from the Pets personality

it did not change my animals personality at all,,,well, maybe they are a little friendlier...wanting to cuddle more, etc. But nothing bad.

WHAT?

We have over 6,000 homeless cats in my town right now.So U tell me if it's the right & responsible thing 2 do.

WOW:

The Humane Society here asked me if I had a barn that they could bring feral cats to. They are looking for people to take care of those too by providing outside shelter and food.

Agressiveness & the desire to hump legs in males, wanderlust. Being nuetered is a big PLUS when trying to find a new home if you have to.

Totally agree....with both statements

Yes it does. It takes away the urge to run around after others. I've always done it and I believe it makes a better relationship between you and the pet. It's worth the money. But then , they are worth the money to take care of.

I bred my dog once when I first got her, because people were begging me for her pups because of her bloodline. I never did get her fixed after that since she was always right by my side...literally! When she was 9, she got an infection and almost died. She had radical surgery and pulled though, but my vet told me had she been fixed it would not have happened and it was a very common infection among female dogs who are not fixed. So, there is another reason right there. BTW...the surgery was 2,500 smackers!

Unless you're planning on breeding, there is no reason not to neuter or spay your pet. It's the responsible thing to do.

There are other benefits for doing it as well:

Benefits of Spaying (females):
-No heat cycles, therefore males will not be attracted
-Less desire to roam
-Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or uterine cancer is reduced or eliminated, especially if done before the first heat cycle

Benefits of Neutering (males):
-Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
-Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be injured in fights or auto accidents
-Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated, and decreases incidence of prostate disease
-Decreases aggressive behavior, including dog bites

For a long time my cat growing up was not fixed. She was always small as she was the runt of the little. As soon as my parents got her fixed. She got fat!

She was always a indoor cat so we never bothered. But I think it is the responsible thing to do yes.

Did you not listen to Bob Barker?

No1sLove, I know exactly what you mean. Emily is like my one child, won't leave me, worth every DAMN cent I've spent on her. Wished I could say the same for the ex.

((Sing)) My doggy also got a mammary tumor when she was 12 years old, so I can easily believe that not fixing her earlier in life may have played a part.
