Spay and neuter your GSD

You really need to spay and neuter your GSD if you haven't already. If your female dog is spayed before her first heat cycle she will have almost a zero chance of developing breast cancer later in life!



Concerning male dogs, the process of neutering helps to prevent prostate enlargement as well as cancer down the road as your dog matures.

It also often cuts down on the need to wander by many male dogs and many other territorial behaviors. But first, it is important to understand exactly what happens whenever you spay or neuter your German Shepherd puppy and what to expect during the process.

Spaying the Female GSD

What happens when you spay your female German Shepherd? Both ovaries and the uterus are removed while the pet is under anesthesia. Postoperative care must be followed carefully to avoid the occurrence of nasty infections.
