What are the factors that influence behavioral changes?
Many factors influence a dog’s behavior, including genetics, exercise level, nutrition, environment, and veterinary care.
Although there is no way to predict how a dog will react to neutering or spaying, most dogs do well following these procedures.
However, there are exceptions. If your dog has been very active or aggressive towards other animals or people following the process, it may be best to consult your veterinarian about alternative options.
The best advice we can give you is to monitor your pet’s behavior closely following the procedure and always give them plenty of love and attention afterward!
