Are Spaying & Neutering Safe Or Unnatural And May Cause Overeating

Posted: Feb 28, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 120 |

Being a naturalist and also being someone that doesn't always just believe the status quo for years I've been saying that is is unnatural to spay and neuter your pet.  Unfortunately, many years back I decided to have my beautiful Woodrow neutered.  It was the easy thing to do and the pressure was on from all sides to just get it done.    From that point on, throughout his life he was continually "hungry".  I had never had a dog that was so fixated on finding something to eat anytime he could possibly get his mouth on it.  I bought him the best dog food possible and even fed him home made organic food and still he was never satisfied.  I've had dogs all my life, most were not fixed and none had the overeating problem that Woody had.  When I would take him for a walk it was almost impossible to keep him from finding and eating something off the street.  In 2007 Woodrow died from an internal hemorage.  I think it was caused from something he ate that got stuck in his digestive system.  Soon therafter somone told me that spaying and neutering can cause this overeating and hunger problem.  A light went off in my head like a siren.  "Oh my God, that's what was different about my buddy.  I had him fixed."  I said to myself.

I found the following statement in the internet about spaying and neutering: 

Will spaying or neutering make my pet fat?
Removing the ovaries or testicles does affect metabolism. For this reason, spayed or neutered pets will tend to put on weight more easily if permitted to overeat. The important phrase here is "if permitted to overeat." Monitoring the quantity of food given and providing regular play and exercise will help keep your pet in shape. 

Dogs have been evolving for millions of years without these operations!  I will not be taking the chance on screwing up mother nature again just because I'm not responsible enough to keep my pet from having sex with another animal during gestation, which is acturally a very short period of time.  The problem is not with the dog's or cat's overies or testicles.  The problem is that people don't take the time to take care of and spend enough time with their dogs or cats.  People need to educate themselves on how to keep their pets from getting pregnant and then make the effort.  End of story!
