For your information....

EARLY SPAY
& NEUTERING
DONT DO PRIOR TO 2 YEARS OF AGE
You're cutting off important hormones� involved in joint regulation and cartilage formation.

Twice as likely to get hip dysplasia if spayed/neutered before they are done likely

TRIPLES the risk of hypothyroidism.

Considered major surgery and requires anesthesia.

Urinary incontinence in over 20% of spayed females.

Increases risk of fearfulness and� aggression.

2-4 times as likely to get several types of cancers.

Spaying/Neutering your puppy too early DOES indeed negatively affect the dog physically & mentally... (you're literally stopping hormone production that is responsible for brain development, bone/ligament/muscle development, etc.)

✨️✨️✨️🗣🗣it is 🚫NOT safe🚫( or smart) to pediatric spay/neuter and absolutely alters your dogs growth BOTH physically & mentally .... 🗣🗣✨️✨️

Remember this before you want to remove crucial hormones that the animals require to grow properly...

It is highly recommended to wait until 2 years of age to spay/neuter and for females one heat cycle (unless it's considered medically necessary -to be life saving only- ie: pyometria, prolapse, etc. )

Here's a detailed explanation of what can happen to a matted pet:
Skin Irritation and Redness:
When mats are removed, the skin underneath, which has been constricted and potentially irritated by the mat, can become red and inflamed as blood rushes back to the area.
Itchiness:
The sudden release of pressure from the mats can cause the skin to become itchy as the dog's body reacts to the change.
Bruising and Hematomas:
In some cases, tiny blood vessels under the skin can burst, leading to bruising or hematomas, which are blood blisters.
Hot Spots and Self-Inflicted Irritations:
Dogs may start licking, biting, or scratching at the area where mats were removed, potentially causing further irritation or even hot spots.
Skin Tears and Abrasions:
If mats are very tight to the skin, removing them can cause skin tears or abrasions, especially if the groomer has to work closely to the skin to remove the mats.
Hair Failure to Regrow:
In some cases, the hair may not regrow in the area where mats were removed, especially if the skin has been severely damaged.
Nicks and Cuts:
During the mat removal process, especially if the mats are close to the skin, there is a risk of nicks or cuts, especially if the groomer has to work closely to the skin to remove the mats.
Trapped Moisture and Bacteria:
Mats can trap moisture and bacteria, which can lead to skin infections and other health problems.
Ear Infections:
If mats are present in the ears, removing them can cause the dog to shake their head, potentially leading to ear infections.
Pain and Discomfort:
The removal of mats can be painful and uncomfortable for the dog, especially if the mats are tight to the skin.
