Have you ever thought why should we be removing our dogs reproductive organs? Chances are no, but everyone who has owned a dog finds themselves googling why my dog urinating everywhere? Why is my dog behaving so irrationally? Why is my dog so aggressive to go outside?

going through these experiences, however, through spaying/neutering, the majority of problems dogs go through can be fixed.

At what age should my dog become spayed/neutered?
The best age to go your dog spayed/neutered is at the 6 month mark as this is when the reproductive organs are fully developed and are getting ready for reproduction. It's also around the time dogs will go into heat in which many abnormal behaviors can occur.
