Proud to announce ENCI accreditation as a center for frozen canine semen

I have been told that before sterilization, I should let my dog have a pregnancy and that pregnancy protects against mammary tumors. Is this true?

Both of these statements are false. The dog does not necessarily have to become pregnant before being spayed.

I bought a puppy or a kitten, but I noticed that it only has one testicle. What should I do?

The presence of only one testicle in the scrotum is called cryptorchidism or testicular ectopia. Normally, a dog's testicles descend into the scrotum at two months of age, but in some cases, testicular descent can be a little slower.
