I can only speak to what I've experienced where I am at. And here a discrepancy makes sense. If you were to want dog stats for my county on spay and neuter, you'd likely get your info from the county dog license records, and herein lies the problem. It's 3 times the cost to register an unaltered dog, so when people register, they say their dog is altered even when it's not. No one checks. There's no medical proof necessary, it's just how you fill out the form.
