Summary

Desexing a pet has been a common practice in Australia for many years. It is estimated that over 80% of Australian dogs are desexed in an effort to control the pet population, decrease the risk of mammary and prostate cancer, and decrease unwanted behaviours. Over the past 20 years, the scientific literature has shown that the decision if, and when, to desex a dog is not so straightforward. In this webinar we will explore what the evidence is telling us.
