There are many questions a dog owner may have about neutering. One of the most common is about just what it is. Dog neutering is castration of the dog. He is put under general anesthesia and the scrotum and testicles are fully removed, then the skin is sewn back together. This procedure is permanent, so if you want to breed your dog, wait until after breeding him. However, it is best for neutering to be done during a dog's first year, as there can be complications with older dogs.
Heartworm in dogs can be very dangerous and, if left untreated, can kill your beloved pet. Even if your dog receives treatment in time, they will be in a lot of discomfort for several weeks. The best cure is to prevent heartworm in the first place by using something like Heartgard for dogs - also known as Heartgard Plus.
