My dog is ready, but she won't let him mount her: what should I do?

There are many reasons why a female in heat may not accept mating: anatomical alterations that make mating painful, dominant behavior towards the male and, most frequently, being brought to the male when she is not at peak fertility.

So what should you do? In these cases, it is important to have a gynecological examination to assess the correct conformation of the female's genital tract, monitor the estrous cycle through a vaginal smear and blood sampling for progesterone dosage, and evaluate with the veterinarian whether it is necessary to assist the pair with artificial insemination.

I bought a puppy, 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.

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.

Do I need to vaccinate my dog or cat every year?

The vaccination schedule for dogs and cats depends on their lifestyle, the contacts they have, and therefore the risks they are exposed to.
