Description
In this episode, host Alyssa Watson, DVM, welcomes back Karen M. Tobias, DVM, MS, DACVS, to talk about her recent Clinician’s Brief article, “Gonadectomy in Dogs: Considerations & Review.” Dr. Tobias lays out evidence for why spaying and castrating dogs at 4-6 months of age should no longer be a universal recommendation. She explains why—and how—we should be taking an individualized approach that focuses on musculoskeletal maturity and accounts for breed-related risks, behavioral factors, and client concerns.
