Description

Many veterinary associations across the world promote routine neutering of cats and dogs as part of responsible pet ownership. In contrast, vets in continental Europe have traditionally been more reluctant to neuter companion animals, especially dogs, based on the potential adverse effects on the animal’s health. This is supported by recent evidence, which suggests that neutering may be associated with an increased incidence of some serious diseases in certain breeds. This webinar will review some of the medical benefits and adverse effects of neutering, and consider confounding factors. (Neutering as a means of population control is not under discussion).
