Three Benefits of Neutering Your Dog

A decision that a lot of dog owners have to make when they first get their male dog is whether to have it neutered or not. There are some benefits of neutering your dog that can help you decide whether it is right for you. Your vet will also be able to provide you with more information about neutering should you require it.
1. Dogs that have been neutered will have a vastly decreased urge to mark their territory both inside and outside the house. This is one of the major reasons why a neutered dog can be a lot less stressful to look after!
2. Dogs that have been neutered will also tend to be a lot less aggressive. This is because removing the testicles of the dog means that it won't have huge amounts of testosterone flowing through its body which in turn makes it calmer.
3. Neutered male dogs are also a lot less likely to roam around trying to find a mate. This is a common problem with dogs that haven't been neutered, as they have a strong urge to try and find potential female mates. Neutered dogs rarely feel this urge - at least nowhere near as strong.
In most cases the owner of a neutered dog will find it much easier to look after their pet. This means less stress for the owner and dog which leads to a happier relationship. There are some downsides to getting your dog neutered, but these are far outweighed by the positives in most cases.
