  1. I just scheduled my one year old female German Shepherd dog who's had one heat cycle, for an OSS. I didn't have my first GSD spayed at all because I couldn't find a vet who was trained in laparoscopic OSS. Now that I found one for my second GSD I will have an OSS done via lap. I am thrilled for by dog and I.

  2. To play devils advocate…..what makes him right and everyone else wrong? My last dog was a black lab mix. Got him from a rescue group and he was neutered at a very early age. He was a big guy(90 lbs) and lived to 13 years of age. Had to put him down due to a tumor near his heart. Lived a health life to that point. I know…..there are exceptions to anything but again how do we know who is right?

  3. As a human's MD, i choose to spay my one year old Beagle with OSS procedure (hysterectomy). Considering Beagle is not a breed that prone developing many tumours (except maybe lipomas), ovarian carcinoma is so rare and 90% mamilary tumours are benign – i will keep her hormones intact while she will never got pyometra. Like you've said OH on dogs increased risk of spaying incontinence, hip dysplasia, osteosarcoma, diabetic, hypothyroid, and many other carcinomas and already proven by many studies. Recent study revealed that spay incontinence happened because of the involuntary urethral spincter got loose and all of this is because of the gonadal hormones, esp. Oestrogen disappeared. So much similarities between human and dog, because THIS also what exactly happened to human when their ovaries got removed, and i'm so glad there's a Vet who really shown the cons of Traditional Spaying and Castration like you.

  4. Thank you so much for this information! It came at a perfect time. We have a 9 week old Golden Retriever female. I have been reading about the problems of early spay. This is our fourth Golden and 3 of them have had the problems you mentioned. All three of them were early spays. I will definitely be looking into partial spay for when she is mature and not full spay early.

  5. I just got this 4 month old kitten an OSS that I rescued a few weeks back. She was partially in heat at the time. 10 days later after the surgery and she is in full heat again. I don't know what to do? She is constantly bothering my male cat and keeping us awake at night. I rescued her from the streets of Puerto Vallarta and I plan on finding her a home in the USA or Canada asap. I don't think any new owner would be very happy about this. In Canada, I got my cat an OSS but she never has any signs of a heat cycle thereafter and It's been 4 years. She goes outside daily and she is fine. I am thinking my vet didn't keep the ovaries in with my cat in Canada. Will this kitten be able to go outside when she is old enough? Or do I get a full spay done? I believe animals need to go outside as well so need to make sure she won't take off while in heat. It's a difference between night and day between the 2 cats

  6. on Dachshunds, studies have found early neutering has seen increases in IDVV and now recommends doing this no earlier than 18 months , just curious if you have heard about this

  7. I just adopted and it was required I neutered my dog without having a choice or any say…(I couldn’t pick him up before neutering, I adopted and they sent him straight to get neutered) now I feel so bad bc he took of his stitches and now I watched this video and learn of ALL the problems he could have now. I would honestly have taken my chances with cancer and with a bit more energetic dog.

  8. how can we help the hormone flow. I have a collie, she got desexed 6 weeks ago and she has doubled in size. she has joint problems and she seems to have aged over night.

  9. Never, NEVER do tubular litigation or any partial. My mistake in wanting to be more 'natural' nearly killed my dog. She came down with pyometra infection a year later and emergency surgery fortunately saved her.

  10. Thank you, that's what I was looking for. Of course I neutered my previous female dog because that's what everybody was saying, that it's the best for your dog and I felt so responsible and mature because I did it. But now I'm not so sure any more so I decided to do my own research although the vet has already asked me if I was planning to do it.

  11. Rescued a 7 year old dog. Was told she was fixed. She went through a heat from hell! She was a corgi with a very furry tummy and I could see part of a scar, so I just assumed.
    Heat was the hardest I've ever experienced, and I've had other female dogs go through heat early many times.
    So, after her heat I scheduled a spay. She immediately was having trouble urinating. Squats and just a few drops come out. She even starts whining and trying to run away.
    Her behavior also changed in a drastic way. I had been working to make her a therapy dog since she loves kids, I thought she would be perfect in a hospital setting.
    She went from being curious and outgoing… to becoming afraid of mundane things. Cars, birds and almost any noise. I checked all the boxes for a depressed dog.
    I wish I had known there were options. 😞

  12. It is immoral to neuter and spay animals. Imagine yourself in that position would you want your own reproductive organs painfully removed at a very young age? The answer is no you would not. Then don’t do it to animals. It is torture. It is unjust. It is cruel. It is evil. It is sadism. Our society has some serious problems with the way we treat animals.

  13. We were told from a breeder where we got our French Bulldog to wait until his growth plates were closed before neutering him and to have an xray done around 1 yr of age to see if they've closed. What are the pros and if any cons of this? Would love if you could do a video commenting on this issue. This was never told to us before when we purchased a female french bulldog from her 5 yrs ago. Is this a new discovery and are other people hearing it also?

  14. In 1979, Barker began ending The Price Is Right episodes with the phrase: "This is Bob Barker reminding you to help control the pet population — have your pets spayed or neutered."

    and

    If everyone took personal responsibility for their animals, we wouldn't have a lot of the animal problems that we do. I'm a big spay-and-neuter supporter. Don't have babies if you're not going to take care of those babies. We don't need more. We just need to take care of the ones we have. Take responsibility and breathe kindness.

  15. I unfortunately got my dog spayed a little past 6 months before coming into the knowledge of the dangers of spaying. My dog is still young so I was wondering if you have any recommendations on preventive measures to lessen the risk of hip dysplasia and other effects of spaying when my dog gets older?

  16. Thanks for this video, I am looking into a particular spay on my 4 year old Border collie. She is a very active sport dog, and I feel like her hormones are definitely beneficial to her.

  17. Thank you for allowing others non-vet but informative dog parents to make educated choices which most vets don’t offer as an option or allow pt input when their service dog is already compromised! Knowledge is power! Keep posting and teaching … and know that you are so very appreciated! Thank you!

  18. You are the Best Dr.Jones.Thank you for being an amazing educator. I have a male intact labrador but when we walk him on his leash,other neutored male dogs try and attack him.I read that other male neutored dogs get threatened by unneutered male dogs from the male hormone emitted.I am wondering if there is any way we can protect our lab from these neutored aggressors. Maybe there is a spray we could use to hide the male smell on our dog.Can you give me any tips?Or suggest a book you may have on this problem?Thank you.You are amazing!What would this crazy world be without gifted doctors like you.

  19. I can’t find anyone who will do a partial spay on my 10 month old who has gone through 1 heat cycle. I’m getting desperate. I’ve heard of vets being willing to learn and do the procedure but my vet won’t and I can’t find anyone who will. Seems we should have a choice in this day and age!

  20. I’ve been doing research on this subject and I am so happy I came across an alternative to the traditional spay.
    I’m getting a chihuahua, and I want what’s best for you. So if she can keep her ovaries and benefit from the sex hormones I don’t care if I have to drive 4+ hours.

  21. Hello, again Dr. Jones. My fur kids are rescues. They were spayed and neutered as adult dogs. 2, 2-1/2 and 3 years of age. I like you, have had a partial spay/neuter (LOL). I am not a vet. But I know very well that I would never consider having my baby daughters' uteruses and overies removed. The need those sex hormones for normal development. Why would it be any different for animals? I feel that people showed wait until their dogs are 2 years old before spaying/neutering them. Your opinion please.
