Stop Spaying or Neutering your Dog!!

About this video

Ritland argues against routine spaying or neutering of dogs unless medically necessary. He contends that removing reproductive hormones during growth can harm joint and hip development, and that owners should manage their pets responsibly without surgical intervention. He criticizes the common veterinary recommendation as convenience-based rather than health-focused.

Key takeaways

• Ritland advises against spaying or neutering dogs for convenience, arguing it disrupts natural hormone production during critical growth phases
• He attributes many canine hip and joint problems to early spay/neuter procedures that remove hormones necessary for proper development
• Medical necessity (such as his own dog’s enlarged prostate at age eight) is the only justification Ritland accepts for the procedure
