Should your dog be on hormone therapy? When we spay and neuter our pets, we take away their sex hormones, which have important functions in the body, just like they do for us humans. In this episode, fellow functional vet Dr Madga and I dive into the risks and benefits of spaying and neutering when it comes to cancer. We chat about vasectomies and ovarian-sparing surgeries to help preserve a pet's hormonal health. And we get into how you can use testosterone therapy as both preventative medicine and treatment in both male and female pets. 

KEY INSIGHTS: 

• Both female and male dogs can make the hormones they need from testosterone.

• What cancers do spay and neuter help prevent, and what cancers do early and spay and neuter increase the risk of?
