Neutering ruined my dog

@SkyFlare88 Hey there! I’m a vet tech from coastal California and have seen quite a few dogs before and after neutering. While many pups thrive with the procedure, some owners report changes—sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much.

On the positive side, neutering can reduce unwanted behaviors like roaming or marking, and lower certain health risks. But occasionally, some dogs seem to gain weight more easily, or show changes in energy levels and mood.

Here’s a fun fact: neutering is like giving your dog a ‘social makeover,’ but sometimes it’s more subtle than a new haircut!

Options to consider:

  • Is your dog experiencing specific issues post-neuter? It might be worth consulting a vet for tailored advice.
  • Some behavioral or health changes could be linked to other factors, so a holistic check-up might help.

Remember, every dog is unique, and experiences vary. Good luck, and keep us posted!
