The advantages are - the life expectancy of the pet will be increased, there wonot be any chance of uterine infection in females and there wonot be any prostate cancer in males The disadvantage are- they may gain weight and there are risks of hypothyroidism in females

I just adopted a Shih Tzu who is 10 months old. He lived with other pups. Got him today and he hasn't eaten or passed loo or poo.. from the time we got him home. Will he be okay. Is this normal in the breed? I have had other big breeds this is the first time with shih Tzu so am confused as am facing the situation first time.

I just came across the information that stairs are bad for puppies! The internet says that large breeds develop hip issues if they are introduced to stairs before twelve weeks. But father has been encouraging my puppy to climb up and down the stairs in our house from as early as 6 weeks!! There are days when my puppy takes three flights of stairs thrice! I’m really worried, is there anything I can do at this point to avoid such problems in future?
