Good question. Neutering at 12 weeks of age would not be a good idea.

I read a post recently in a dog forum about a dog experiencing health problems after "chemical castration." This was the first I had ever heard of such a thing. I cannot imagine that any pill for sterilization could ever be made as safe as surgical neutering.
