STOP Traditional Spay/Neuter: New Research Changes Everything

from Paws, Reflect & Heal with Dr. Randy · host Dr. Randy Pet Vet

For pet parents seeking the most informed, holistic advice on their dog's health, Dr. Randy Aronson reveals why traditional spay and neuter procedures may be doing more harm than good. Groundbreaking new research links the loss of reproductive hormones to serious health issues, including increased risks of prostate cancer, cruciate ligament damage, and muscle mass loss (sarcopenia). Learn about the revolutionary alternative: gonadal sparing surgery (hormone-sparing surgery), which sterilizes your pet while retaining their vital hormones.Dr. Randy goes so far as to apologize for past veterinary advice, explaining that powerful new studies are forcing the profession to evolve. He details how the constant LH surge following traditional surgery can lead to joint problems and incontinence and introduces the concepts of vasectomies for male dogs and ovarian-sparing hysterectomies for females. This is essential listening for anyone considering sterilization for their dog who wants to ensure they are making a health-conscious decision.
