I have an 11lb maltipoo/yorkie mix who is a little over a year old and I'm getting him fixed in a couple of weeks. I have the consent form and talked to the vet but don't know what options I should get. (I'm indecisive). I know I'm having him microchipped. But I'm not sure about the other stuff...

Need some opinions: I have a Maltipoo/yorkie mix who is just over a year old. He stays in the house the majority of the time and his outside time is spent on a leash or supervised. I've read that it's better to get it done while he is younger. I don't plan on breeding him but my aunt (who I got...

I have never had a dog before but was wondering if everyone has advice specifically for male dogs (mine is a small mixed breed).

Hi all, There seems to be a lot of conflicting information when it comes to neutering. My parents said vets used to always recommend it at 6 months, but my vet told me that for medium and larger breed dogs, the hormones are actually good for the dogs if you wait until they are a year or two. On...

Hi all, Just got my 3.5 year old Havanese named Bonecrusher neutered last weekend. I know there are a lot of questions about this on here, but I was hoping someone wouldn't mind taking a look at these pics to give advice about his neutering scar. He was neutered 6 days ago and they used...

I have two male shepherd/lab puppies (litter mates), just over 6 months old. The vet advised we get them neutered around 6 months so they are going in at the end of the week. One of the puppies has a very mature bark, while the other's is still puppy-like (though sometimes it does sound...

My parents have a 4 year old beagle that is not neutered. He is house trained for the most part, but he marks everywhere. The other two dogs that are neutered and is house trained follows suit and makes the problem x3 of what it is. I tried to get him neutered, but my parents think he's too old...

So, I've never owned a dog before. To be honest, I never like dogs until I started hanging around different family members' dogs in my late teens and early 20s. I actually grew very found of them recently. I'm living on my own in a different city...and I need a friend so I figured a dog would be...

Hi all, I have a 1 year old male Australian Shepherd, and I recently took him to the vet to have a consultation regarding neutering. We met with the vet just to ask questions regarding neutering, but mainly to get to know who would be doing the surgery, so that we could feel confident about it...

Hi, I'm pretty confused as to when I should spay our Nala. She's a GSD X Mastiff mix so she's going to be pretty big. I've heard some contradictory things about it.. I've heard there are a lot of negative things in the long term with spaying, but does that out weigh the benefits? Also if it's...

Scrambles is now a little more than a year old and the fiance and I are now looking into getting him neutered (a little late I know, but better than never). He is due for his yearly exam soon and I am going to bring up neutering to our vet, but recently I've heard about chemical neutering. For...

Today we got my 4 month old lab/husky/mastiff mix puppy Mocha neutered. I wanted to wait until he was a bit older to get him fixed, but my mother wanted it done now since he was growing fast and she didn't want to pay extra money when he's 60+ lbs. (She's helping me pay for the dog until I can...
