Sterilization is good for animals: Neutering animals can help to avoid various problems caused by sexual frustration. Owners don�t have to get frustrated with the pets when their pets have health issues and eventually decides to abandon them. In other words, neutering is for the best of your pets.
Besides that, the surgery helps to prevent some disease, e.g. Pyometra, ovarian cysts, STD, prostate enlargement, etc. Neutering before your pet first birthday may even help in preventing breast cancer. Sex hormones will cause anxiety, it is very common for animals to become aggressive towards people or objects (attacking people, destroying your furniture or bad temperament). Neutering them would help to overcome these sorts or behavior hence it has more pros than cons, either to the animals themselves or to the pet owners.

Common diseases found in animals especially dogs: –
1. Pyometra: it is often seen in senile bitch (more than 7 years old) that are not neutered. The symptoms could be as mild as increased drinking and urinating. The most obvious symptom of open pyometra is a discharge of pus from the vulva (in a Female) that has recently been in heat. However, symptoms of closed pyometra are less obvious and it can be easily missed. When the cervix is fully closed (closed pyometra), there is no discharge from the vulva, and like in appendicitis, the uterus may rupture and pus escapes into the abdomen, causing peritonitis and possible rapid death.
Besides, senile dogs and ill dogs are exposed to higher risks during anesthesia. The surgery itself (neutering) and postoperative care usually costs more than the normal need neutering (done when the dog is young and healthy). Therefore, if you have no intention in letting your dogs breed, you should make arrangement to neuter them ASAP.

3. Breast tumor: breast tumors often develop in senile animals. Approx. 50% found in dogs are cancerous. Even after removal of the tumor, the chances of reoccurrences are very high. According to literature, the production of estrogen has a lot to do with the formation of this type of tumors. Therefore, neutering your dogs before they turn one is a recommended solution.

6. Prostate diseases: this disease is often found in senile male dogs. Symptoms include blood in the urine and straining to urinate and defecate. Neutering is the treatment recommended so that the androgens can be eliminated, causing the glands to atrophy naturally, preventing the disease and the development into prostate cancer.

7. False pregnancy (pseudocyesis): is a common condition in female intact dogs. Symptoms include swelling of the mammary glands, lactation, not eating, and “mothering” small objects, indicating pregnancy and looking like the litter is due anytime soon. If this occurs frequently, neutering can help solve the problem.
