Thinking about neutering your dog? With so much conflicting advice out there - some say do it early, some say wait, some say don’t do it at all - it’s hard to know what’s actually right for your dog.
In this episode of The Walk & Talk, I’m cutting through the confusion and breaking down the real science behind neutering. We’ll dive into:
🐾 What testosterone actually does to your dog and for your dog 🐾 The real impact of neutering on behaviour and health 🐾 The risks, benefits, and best timing if you do decide to neuter 🐾 The myths, the facts & the crucial things most people don’t consider before making this irreversible decision
Neutering is one of the biggest choices you’ll make for your dog, and I want to make sure you have all the information - not just hearsay or pressure from others - so you can make the best decision with confidence.
