To neater or not?
Hello everyone!
Recently adopted this beautiful boy at 5 years old! Previous owner of Casper took care of him and he’s pretty healthy boy - however he never got neutered and I’m just wondering from other havi owners on their experience with not neutered/ spaying?
I just keep hearing mixed reviews about to fix or to not i got him groomed and took him to the vet. ( both the groomer and vet did tell me to just fix him because it’s better for their lifespan). but then I hear others who experienced a long life and never got neutered?
I am just conflicted on whether I should or not. The reasons why I am doubtful also is because Capser is such an energetic and playful dog and I’m scared neutering him now might make him anti social and change his personality given he is 5 years old now!!
He never is aggressive unless he dislikes another dog and just growls at - overall such a happy and cuddly boy!!!!
Another question is if anybody had a bad experience with Petco teeth cleaning or would just going to a regular vet be better? Capser never got a professional teeth cleaning and his breath used to smell really bad and now doesn’t as much bc I started feeding him a better kibble
