Gonectomized dogs have been reported to have higher incidences of obesity, urinary incontinence, urinary calculi, atopic dermatitis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, hypoadrenocorticism, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, inflammatory bowel disease, hip dysplasia, cranial cruciate ligament rupture, aggressive and fearful behavior, cognitive dysfunction syndrome, prostate adenocarcinoma, and transitional cell adenocarcinoma. - Dr. Karen Becker quoting Dr. Michelle Kutzler. • Summary: • In this groundbreaking discussion, three renowned experts in veterinary medicine and pet health challenge the long-held beliefs about spaying and neutering dogs. Dr. Peter Dobias, DVM, Dr. Karen Becker, DVM, and Rodney Habib, 2x New York Times bestselling author and inspired pet parent, delve into the controversial topic, shedding light on the the health risks associated with premature spaying and neutering, which have long been considered standard practice in canine care. • They highlight that early desexing can lead to significant hormonal imbalances, affecting a dog's overall development and well-being. Contrary to popular belief, the discussion suggests that altered dogs may experience more behavioral issues, not fewer, as previously thought. Most alarmingly, dogs sterilized too early may face an increased risk of various diseases later in life. • The conversation brings to light new studies that challenge traditional spaying and neutering practices. Hormone-sparing techniques are presented as promising alternatives to conventional methods, offering a more nuanced approach to canine sterilization. The recent World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) guidelines update reflects this shifting perspective, emphasizing a more individualized approach to canine health. • They stress the critical need for education in the veterinary community and among pet owners. The discussion advocates for considering factors such as breed, size, and lifestyle when making decisions about sterilization rather than adhering to a one-size-fits-all approach. By challenging the status quo and promoting hormone-sparing sterilization techniques, Dr. Dobias, Dr. Becker, and Rodney Habib aim to help pave the way for healthier, longer-lived canine companions. • Time stamps: • 00:00 Introduction and welcome • 02:15 Dr. Karen Becker's background and early experiences • 09:20 Rodney Habib's perspective as a pet parent • 12:25 Explaining hormone function and Dr. Peter Dobias' experience with his dog Pax • 17:30 Making a difference in the lives of pets and their humans • 24:25 Dr. Michelle Kutzler's research on health issues in neutered dogs • 27:00 Hormone-sparing sterilization techniques • 29:54 Hormone replacement therapy for neutered dogs • 34:00 World Small Animal Veterinary Association's updated guidelines • 35:30 Addressing resistance to new sterilization methods • 45:15 The impact of spaying/neutering on dog behavior • 52:47 The connection between hormones and the microbiome • 54:02 The impact of an unhealthy hormonal system on people • 1:00:34 Closing thoughts and future directions • Want to make the best decision for your dog's health and longevity?
