Be Sure to Neuter Your Dog
When you adopt a puppy, don't forget to factor in the cost of neutering your new pet. It makes sense from a health standpoint, because neutered dogs face fewer health challenges. They also tend to live longer lives because they do not stray looking for a mate.
It's also estimated that between four and five million dogs are euthanized every year in America, and that's a staggering number. Unwanted puppies make up a large part of this number, and not neutering your dog means he's always capable of getting loose and getting a female pregnant.
Finally, neutered dogs are less aggressive because they have less testosterone in their systems. That means fewer fights and fewer injuries from fighting.
