Did you know....for decades, the message has been clear.... spay and neuter your dogs to prevent unwanted litters and control the pet population. This advice has been reinforced by veterinarians, animal welfare organizations, and even pop culture. While well-intentioned, this widespread practice has had unintended and often devastating consequences for our dogs. 

In this episode of Paws Unplugged, we take a closer look at the unspoken realities of spaying and neutering. What happens when we remove crucial hormones that play a vital role in a dog’s growth, development, and overall health? The impacts go far beyond reproduction, with consequences that include chronic illnesses, behavioral changes, and a higher risk of certain cancers.

We also dive into the alarming rate at which these procedures are performed on puppies and young dogs before their bodies have fully developed. Why has the "system" ignored these risks for so long? What does the science really say about the long-term effects of spaying and neutering?

Join us as we explore the bigger picture, challenging the narrative we’ve all been told for decades. We’ll discuss why leaving your dog intact is a healthier, more natural choice and share alternative ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies without compromising your dog’s well-being. If you’ve ever questioned the mainstream advice on spaying and neutering, or even if you haven’t, this episode is a must-listen. Get ready for an eye-opening discussion that could change the way you think about your dog’s health and future.
