Congrats to Emmitt!

He was neutered yesterday, I just picked him up! Although it doesn't seem like a happy thing, it is...now he will be able to do daycares and will have more freedom because there is no worry that he will impregnate a pup! There are health benefits as well...

Health benefits for spaying and neutering are:

Spaying your female:

• Prevents your dog from having heat cycles; not only will you not have to worry about unwelcome male dogs arriving at your door, you won’t have to supervise or clean up after your female dog in heat
• Prevents unwanted litters from being born; with so many puppies in shelters already, finding good homes for new puppies involves a great deal of your time and money
• Prevents unwanted pregnancies which can often complicate the health of your dog
• Prevents Pyometra, an infection of the uterus which poses serious health risks to unspayed dogs
• Eliminates the risk of uterine and ovarian cancers, and can decrease the chance of mammary cancers

Neutering your male:

• Prevents the cause of unwanted litters
• Prevents the risk of prostate disease, perianal tumors and perineal hernias
• Prevents a variety of infections, cysts and abscesses
• Decreases your dog's tendency to roam in search of female dogs in heat
• Curbs aggressive and hyperactive behavior; this means less marking, biting and aggressive/dominant behavior with other dogs and people
