The health benefits are worth my doing the full spay/neuter and as I said, it also makes potty training easier, which I am all for.  |
I know that the more progressive vets are definitely recognizing thsi and are opting for less invasive procedures like in Spain for example where they only remove the uterus because they understand the benefit if the reproductive hormones to the lifetime health of the female dog. Gina1978 has more info on this.
