Why do people not spay/neuter their dogs? General Dog Discussions
Since I joined Yahoo answers I have tried my hardest to help people out with their questions about dogs, but yet I am shocked at how many people are on here asking questions about what to do now that their dog is pregnant, or asking questions about dogs being in heat, or even more scary, asking basic questions about puppies that their unfixed dog had accidently and now they have no idea how to take care of them. Can someone please give me some soid reasons to not spay or neuter your pets? I have reasons to do it: 500,000 animals are euthanized in the US each year because they have nowhere to go, also spaying and neutering prevents multiple health issues in male and female dogs including many forms of cancer. Plus who wants to deal with a female dog being in heat? I would love some insight into this...I'm starting to think it is a waste of time to try and convince people to fix their dogs and not breed irresponsibly.redneck: i am curious if you are aware that you can prevent many health issues including, breast cancer, cystic endometrial hyperplasia and pyometra, false pregnancies, mastitis (can occur during false pregnancy), transmissible venereal sarcoma, ovarian and uterine tumors, cystic ovaries and hyperestrogenism, chronic endometritis vaginal hyperplasia and prolapse, uterine torsion or uterine prolapse by having your female dogs fixed?
