🐶 Why Early Desexing of Dogs Can Be Problematic 🐶

Many pet owners opt for early desexing (spaying/neutering), often thinking it's best for population control and health. 🏥🐕

However, emerging research suggests that early desexing : performed before a dog’s hormones have fully developed, may have some drawbacks.

🔹 Behavioral Issues
Some studies indicate that early desexing can influence canine behavior.
For example, a 2014 study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association found that early-spayed females showed increased fears and aggression compared to those spayed later. 😱
Hormones play a key role in social and sexual behaviors, and removing them prematurely can interfere with normal behavioral development.

🔹 Hip Dysplasia Risk:
Research also suggests that early desexing may affect skeletal development. A 2016 study in PLOS ONE observed that dogs spayed/neutered before 12 months had a higher incidence of hip dysplasia, a painful joint condition.
The hormones influence bone growth, and early removal might lead to altered joint development.

🔹 When is the Best Time?
Experts recommend waiting until a dog’s growth plates have closed typically after 12-18 months before desexing. This allows for proper skeletal and behavioral development.

📝 Remember:
Every dog is unique. Consult your veterinarian to determine the best age for desexing based on your pet’s breed, size, and health.

There’s something truly magical about the way a dog can turn an ordinary day into something extraordinary. 🐾
They’re not just pets, they teach us what unconditional love is.
They are loyal friends who see us at our best and our worst, and love us just the same ♥️♥️♥️

For many of us, a dog isn’t just a companion; they’re family. They fill our homes with joy, and our lives with purpose!
The truth is, we’re forever changed the moment they choose us to be their humans.

Here’s to all the dogs who’ve loved us fiercely and changed our lives in ways we’ll never fully explain. 🐶❤️
