11 Ways you may be unintentionally shortening your dog’s life

11. Deciding Whether to Spay/Neuter

This topic has received a lot of attention from the veterinary community in recent years. While some researchers now feel that leaving a dog intact can help reduce their risk of certain cancers, others still hold fast to the idea that neutering drastically reduces the risk of reproductive cancers in males and females.

One thing is for sure, spayed/neutered pets are less likely to run away or wander and are therefore safer from the hazards listed above. Whatever your personal stance is on the subject, be sure to do your research and discuss the matter with your vet before making your final decision.
