hi

Sally Grott :

There are few cons aside from the fact that she will not be able to have puppies.

Sally Grott :

she is less likely to get cancers that unspayed dogs get

Customer :

okay i was just wondering, she will never be breed but i heard alot of horror stories if we didn't get her spayed like alot of urinary tract infections..

without organs there is less likely the chance to get ovarian cancers, cysts , infection of the uterus and yes she may develop less UTI's
