An unspayed female dog, her mate and all of their puppies. If none of them are spayed/neutered (desexed) they will multiply as follows: ![]() 1 Year- 16 |
The importance of spaying and neutering (desexing) your pet goes beyond birth control. If you do not plan to breed your dog, desexing it is the healthiest option. As pets get older and their body chemistry changes so do the hormones coming from their reproductive organs. A pet who retains their reproductive organs have a significantly higher risk for getting infections, cancers and other medical complications.
For animal population control, desexing your pet is an absolute must. There are over 25,000 unwanted animals put to death each year by the HK government. Sadly there are an additional number of homeless animals that also die each year...a problem that could and can be prevented.
