Regarding Pugs being fixed

Amy on Lost Pets - Thu, July 24 2008

I was reading the posts from the person who wrote about her family member thinking that if she neutered or spayed their pug it would get fat and have breathing difficulties. As the President of Kentuckiana Pug Rescue, I do have a little experience with Pug dogs and I can tell you definitively that this is NOT TRUE!!! Spaying and/or neutering does NOT have any effect at all on their breathing, and they only get fat if you feed them too much. It is so much healthier for them to be altered as not doing so raises their risk of cancer! Please go to our website, www.kentuckianapugs.com for more information on pugs and please feel free to email me if you have any questions!!!

Amy's right! I'm neutralized (or neutered) and I don't have breathing problems other than I snore. My mom says that's a problem for her sometimes 'cause it's loud!

That is the dumbest thing I've heard today! .... But I have heard it before.

Bottom line is that having your pet fixed does nothing but good for all!

Midge and Angle both were spayed on July 3rd, (thought it best to do both at once so they wouldn't hurt each other), and I see absolutely no difference in either one. They are still about the same weight and are both just as lively as ever. They run and fight with each other ( play fight of course) from sun up to sun down with a couple little naps in between.
Yes , spay or neutering an animal you do not intend to breed is the healthiest and smartest thing you could ever do for your best friend and yourself.
