Why Your Dog Keeps Scratching with White Flakes

For most owners the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Spaying and Neutering Pets: Benefits, Risks, and Trade-offs
Neutering returns pets to a calm, pre-heat state and prevents a range of reproductive diseases, but it also raises obesity and some surgical risks. Done before the first heat, it cuts mammary-tumor risk sharply — so weigh the pros against weight control and anesthesia.
