🚨 PAEDIATRIC NEUTERING & SPAYING🚨
🚨 EARLY SPAY & NEUTERING 🚨
Paediatric is under 6 months, Early is under full maturity (around 18 months- 24 months+).
Paediatric neutering( PN)/spaying (PS)& Early Spay (ES)/ Early Neutering (EN) is a taboo subject with different opinions- there are still a handful of vets who follow outdated information and recommend to new owners. They only recommend it because of ‘overpopulation’ in dogs, the overcrowding in rescue centres , outdated information, the stigma against certain breeds, and old myths such as preventing or stopping behavioural issues (marking or aggression for example).

Medical necessity aside such as a puppy with one testicle , while there are a handful of benefits for this procedure such as preventing 2 types of cancers- through extensive research by grad students , researchers, vets, vet hospitals and those others specialised the research proves it’s actually not as beneficial as once believed for our beloved animals, that is comes with harsh and even irreversible health issues and consequences.

In my opinion, as well as many professionals, unless a dog medically needs it they should stay intact, females however I believe should be spayed or OSS at an appropriate age to prevent Pyometritis (an infection of the womb , it fills with puss and can cause serious health implications and even death). However that’s just my personal views with my dogs which I understand isn’t realistic for a lot of owners. If you want to neuter or spay, my advice based off scientific evidence would be to wait until they are at least 2 years old. This of course isn’t a set rule, it’s a breed-by-breed case, so if you have a larger dog they’d be neutered at 3-4 years old compared to a smaller breed. Or look into other options such as O***y Sparing Spay (OSS) and vasectomies which can be done at ANY age and prevents unwanted litters, without the increased health risks.

PN/PS ES/EN prevents several types of cancers (testicular for example) while increasing the risks of 20+ more ; bladder cancer , osteosarcoma (bone cancer) , cardiac hemangiosarcoma (cancer in the blood vessels, common), splenic hemangiosarcoma (cancer in the spleen, most common spleen cancer) , and the even more common prostate cancer. It doesn’t stop there, it also increases the joint diseases such as hip and elbow dysplasia , stunts growth, incontinence, joint issues, Atopic dermatitis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, hypoadrencortiscism, immune-medicated polyarthristis , cruciate injuries, inflammatory bowel disease, IVDD and the list goes on. There’s also current studies still ongoing.

Your dog/Female NEEDS their hormones and their growth palettes to close. Imagine this being equivalent to puberty for humans, we need to go through our different development stages and receive our hormones. Otherwise, your dog/female development is ‘stuck’ in a puppy like manner and will never mature to their full potential; Some of the Growth palettes don’t close until 17-19 months+ (of course, breed by breed basis). PS/PN ES/EN affects their growth palettes, it can cause them to grow taller than average, leggy, more lanky ,smaller/larger for their breed, and ‘roachbacked’. Most PN/PS EN/ES are either very small and undefined for their breed, or a giant in their breed compared to intact or waited at a more appropriate time.
When allowed to develop properly, they will fill out, be more defined, better bone density and coat quality- they mature in adults properly.

Now of course, there are several variables that can affect a dog’s structure and development such as their diet, environment, and training regimen; we do have ‘throwback genes’ too , just as we can look like our (great+) grandparents , so they can also have slimmer features down to genetics. Each pup to their litter won’t be identical, some are genetically slim while others are genetically slow growers. Or even if the breeding pair wasn’t compatible , producing pups that reflect that- (choosing a sire for a dam takes a lot of factors, however when all things are ticked off (i.e health testing ect), they should also be physically compatible and match) however there is a visual difference between genetics and stunted development from PN/PS EN/ES.

There’s also a common myth that states a girl should be bred from before you spay her- this just isn’t true either. Do not breed unless you’ve thoroughly researched what breeding means, including if your pet should be bred from- which a lot are not. Breeding shouldn’t be done on a whim and will be damaging. This isn’t a ‘get rich quick scheme’.

Another recommendation from some professionals too is to early neuter/spay or paediatric neuter/spay if your pet has behavioural issues. De-s*xing WILL NOT put a stop to issues such as marking, aggression to you/other people, food aggression, biting, aggressive with other dogs, or the most common - hu***ng. Only a TRAINER or behavioural specialist will help fix these issues as this is a behavioural problem.

For example, hu***ng isn’t necessarily a s*xual desire for dogs, this can simply be pent up energy, overstimulation, or over excitement! This can commonly happen when guests arrive, meeting new people/dogs, playing , or come home from a walk. There’s also recent studies that have shown that PN/PS EN/ES actually increases fearfulness and even aggression in dogs, among other psychological and behavioural issues.
You need to train your dogs, give them a purpose. Your working breeds absolutely thrive on a purpose but they need to be trained properly, this goes for every breed too.

Also to add, this isn’t to bash vets! So please, no harsh comments insulting them. They do a brilliant job, however just like humans, when they give a recommendation for a procedure or give a diagnosis- always ask for a second opinion, even a third or go to the relevant specialist. I commend vets for all they do.
Remember that this is always a personal decision, you know what’s best for your lifestyle and your family so this post isn’t to pressure you to keep intact pets, only to provide information that isn’t always easily accessible or wildly spoken about.

I understand it’s not reasonable for every pet owner to keep an intact dog, especially those who have many dogs of the opposite s*x, our rescue centres are over run! There’s better options, putting our ANIMAL’s wellbeing first. I know many rescue centres have stopped paediatric neutering and spaying, but so many still do this outdated practice. Which can actually add to the problem , as not many owners can afford the medical bills this outdated practice can cause-resulting in surrendering the animal. OSS and vasectomies are a better option, can be done even as a puppy.

So in conclusion, your decision is your decision, the recommended age to des*x is 2 years minimum (breed by breed basis so you may have to wait longer depending)to allow your dog to go through ‘puberty’ , to wait for their growth palettes to mature and close, and for them to fully mature. Or if you want to remain intact you can, there’s other options too, such as vasectomy and O***y Sparing Spay, this prevents unwanted litters while also allowing them to keep their hormones to mature properly without the increased cancer risks, this procedure can be done at any age as it doesn’t affect the development.

For more in depth advice, please consult your local vets to make a decision that fits your household😌.
