Is it good to have a golden retriever neutered?

There are advantages and disadvantages to golden retriever sterilization, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, regardless of the situation of mating, it is best to sterilize the dog, which can reduce the troubles caused by the dog's estrus period, prolong the life of the dog, and reduce reproductive tract infections. However, corresponding examinations should be done before the dog is sterilized. Physical health is a very important first choice, and if the golden retriever is in estrus, the surgery must be done after the estrus is over.

What should be paid attention to when golden retriever is sterilized:

1. The best time for a dog to be neutered is before the first estrus period, about six to eight months old. During this period of time, the dog is basically fully sexually mature, and the hormone level in the dog's body is still in a balanced and stable state when it is not in heat, which reduces the negative impact of hormones after surgery.

2. If you consider the season suitable for wound healing, you can choose to sterilize in spring and autumn. The weather in spring and autumn is warm, neither hot nor cold, which is suitable for wound healing.

3. The owner needs to contact the pet doctor in advance to make an appointment for the operation time. Since the operation requires anesthesia, in order to prevent the male dog from reflux and coughing, the male dog needs to be fasted for 8 hours.

4. Do not take the dog home when it is not awake. It is best to observe it in the clinic first to prevent accidents. After arriving home, choose a comfortable and clean nest and rest in a ventilated place.

5. It is recommended that dogs be hospitalized for 7 days after surgery to prevent them from being active and causing wound tearing or bacterial infection.
