If you are considering having your Corgi spayed or neutered, you should know what to expect. While spaying or neutering a dog will minimize unwanted behaviors, there are no guarantees that it will eliminate them. The outcome of the sterilization procedure will depend on your dog’s personality, physiology, and history. Regardless of the benefits of spaying/neutering, the process is a responsible choice. Here are some of the reasons you should consider neutering your dog.
When is the best time to spay or neuter
Your vet can give you a few different answers, and you should always consult a veterinarian for more information. Remember, this surgery will only benefit your dog and not harm your family. Also, it’s important that you wait until your Corgi reaches sexual maturity. This will minimize the risks and complications of early spaying.
Sexual maturity
You should consider spaying or neutering your Corgi before the dog reaches sexual maturity. Male Corgis reach sexual maturity at around six to eight months of age. Despite being a wonderful and affectionate dog, a neutered dog is more likely to suffer from hip, joint, and back problems. It’s best to wait until your Corgi reaches sexual maturity before deciding to get it neutered.
