What is the difference between spayed and not spayed or neutered and not neutered.?

Q. Dont know too much about dogs but cant a spayed dog have puppies and a non spayed have puppies too? Whats the difference. And if there is any additional advice on whether they should be spayed/neutered or not, plz tell me.
Why is it so important that dogs be neutered and spayed? What if I want my dogs to have puppies?

A. When you spay a female you remove her reproductive organs so she can not have puppies.

You should spay and neuter your pets so you don't add to the pet overpopulation. Neutering a male eliminates the possibility of testicular tumors and greatly reduces the chance of prostate problems. Neutering decreases the incidence of perianal tumors and hernias, which are commonly observed in older, unaltered males. Neutered males are less likely to try to escape a yard to find a female in season. This reduces the likelihood of them being hit by cars, getting into fights or lost. (Neutering is no substitute for a securely fenced yard, however).

Females spayed before their first estrous cycle ("heat") greatly reduces her chance of mammary tumors, ovarian cancer and uterine infection (all of which can be fatal and costly to treat). A spayed female eliminates the neighborhood stray males from camping out on your lawn trying to get at your female when she comes into "heat." Giving birth to a litter can be dangerous to your female. Some breeds have a high rate of cesarean sections, which are expensive and can be risky.

Temperament:

Spaying and neutering before sexual maturity also offers a temperament benefit. Males neutered early in life tend to be less aggressive and less distracted. Neutered males are less likely to scent mark (real problem when they decide to mark inside the house). A spayed female also does not hormonally based swings and will be more focused on you as well. A female with a litter can become very aggressive, even to family members. Spaying also makes your female a better companion. However, altering a pet is NOT a substitute or a cureall for behavioral issues. It may only affect those hormonally related.


How much on average are shots for puppys?
Q. If i get a puppy without shots how much is an average price on them? Also how much is it to spay a puppy?

A. The S.P.C.A. has lower prices.

Our small female was $60 to spay and all the shots were around $25

Call around and get prices...


If you spay a pregnant girl dog is it like a multiple abortion?
Q. I don't think I could do that, have the blood of ten puppies on my hands. I'd find a way to keep them safe and get them spayed BEFORE puppies had to be killed.

A. I agree If you screw up and end up letting your dog get pregnant the puppies shouldn't be punished without even given a chance.


Why is it necessary to spay the puppy ?
Q. I read here that his health will also improve if he is spayed. Will spaying the male dane puppy, improve his growth too. Or how will it affect him?
But i wanted to get his litters later when he is completely matured, so i dont want him to be spayed. So, whats the solution for his weird behaviour with the other male dog who is also just 10 months?

A. yeah, its better for both the male and female to be spayed or neutered. the females don't have to be locked up or made to wear pants during their season. males are less likely to roam and much less likely to hump things or mark everything in sight.

besides--unless your dog is a show dog, there's not really much reason to want to breed him or her. there's too many pups and kittens put to sleep each year for want of a home.

spay or neuter your dog. it will be the best investment you've ever made.
