Episode 044: Spay and Neuter Considerations w/ Dr Marty Greer
2021-02-02
Dr. Marty Greer joins us to discuss spay and neuter considerations. It’s all too common when you go into the vet clinic for your new puppy’s first appointment, that your vet is anxious to set up your puppy’s spay or neuter. Or for some, it’s us, the owner, that’s anxious to have it done because we either don’t want to deal with a female coming into season, or have been told a male will pee on everything. Dr Greer takes the time to explain these myths and ideologies in this episode, and what it’s actually like to live with intact dogs, and the risks and benefits to behavior, development, and overall health.
