About this episode
145: In this episode of Dogs Are Individuals, I cover the effects of spay and neuter on your dog’s hormones, nervous system, and overall health. I explain why removing reproductive organs isn’t just about preventing puppies, it can disrupt critical hormone loops, stress the adrenals, affect bones, joints, behavior, and even increase risk for certain cancers. I share practical strategies for supporting your dog’s health, from delaying spay/neuter when possible, ovary-sparing and vasectomy options, to hormone replacement, glandulars, and herbal therapies that help restore balance.
