FAQ

• Will it make my dog fat and lazy? No. Obesity is due to excessive calorie intake. Weight can be controlled by proper feeding and exercise.
• Will it change his personality, disposition or intelligence? No. Dogs' personalities do not fully develop until 12-24 months of age. If there is a personality change in a young, neutered dog, it would have happened without surgery too.
• Is it cruel to suppress his "urges" by neutering him? No. Dogs don't have a psychological sex drive. Their drive is controlled by hormones produced in the testes. These hormones are not present in appreciable quantity in neutered males.
• Will my dog continue to "mark" (urinate) on everything outside? Probably. Most dogs that learn this behavior continue to do so.
• Will my dog stop lifting his leg to urinate? No. This is a learned behavior for most dogs. Some do it, some don't. Neutering will have no effect on this behavior.
