You cannot leave your unspayed dog into a boarding kennel or with pet sitter as there is high risk of the dog getting pregnant.

– You cannot leave her alone in the house yard as male dog can smell that scent from distance, even she may flirt with other dogs and with female dogs also and lure other dogs to mount on her.

– Unspayed female dog tend to develop a uterus infection named pyometra and its life risky. If your dog has already developed this disease the only solution is spaying. If you spay your dog early it would be healthy.

– After heat periods some female dogs show sign of false sign of pregnancy. Their belly may swell, nipples may produce milk. It can cause infection mammary gland infections due to the hormonal changes and it destroys the dog’s metabolism rate.

However the pros outweigh the cons a lot more, and hence it’s wise to get the dogs neutered or spayed while they are adolescent. There are millions of dogs all over the world who have no home; fall victim of pre-mature death. They do not get food and shelter, never receives affection. But when they are getting that affection and care from you, it’s equally important they get the beast health benefits from you.
