Decided to have dog spayed, how to convice husband?

She is your dog, so not really his decision. You don't want to breed her, so him thinking he might convince you to breed her is out of the question.

You want to get her spayed, so get her spayed, Don't ask him about it, tell him that it is happening. Book the appointment before you tell him, so there is less chance of backing out.

There are some things you discuss in a marriage and some things you don't need to. If breeding a dog in the future is something both of you want to do, you can look into doing it properly and getting a dog that is worthy of breeding.

You might not be able to totally avoid a fight. You do need to stick your guns and not cave into him. The dog is getting spayed, you just need to make him understand that it is going to happen.

The other options is to get it done and not tell him until it is done. Still might not avoid a fight, but no going back on it and nothing he says can change it once it has happened.

Have the dog spayed. There's no reason what so ever to keep the dog intact. The dog will nt only live LONGER once spayed, the dog won't go into heat, can't get pyo and the many cancers only intact dogs get and the dogs chance of other cancers will decrease dramatically.

Since the dog is not his, he has no say in you doing the right and proper thing of spaying the dog

The dog is legally yours, not his.

He doesn't has any say in the matter, if you want her spayed, she gets spayed. You don't need absolutely any confirmation to spay your own dog.

The "fight" with your husband is worth your dog's life in my oppinion. If you don't get the dog spayed, you are saying you would rather avoid talking about this with your husband, and have the dog die.

Get an estimate from the emergency vet on the cost of an emergency spay, and treatment for pyometra. That may be enough to convince him. Also get the costs of rearing a litter of pups, including exams, wormings, vaccines for the litter of 6-8, and also the cost of an emergency c-section for mom if one is needed.

Look up pyometra and show him some facts on that... Had two friends with bitches with it this week alone. One b*tch age 7 yrs and the other below a year and only one week after her first season had finished which is really unusual. She's not out of the woods yet either.

Then look up mammary gland tumours and how many b*tches go with these. This might help change his mind.

She's your dog, just make the appointment, take her in. He'll see that it's done when you bring her back home. You don't need his permission for this or even to tell him when it's going to happen.

She is legally your dog have her spayed if you want.

Just do it, this was your dog before you got with him so he has no say in it. If he doesn't like it then that is HIS problem.

pyometra is a stretch, even in bit ches who whelp pups this happens rarely. cancers develop in many dogs unfortunately as they age as well as heart/kidney/lung diseases along with arthritis.

hormones, whether male or female are lost in these surgeries, and if this is not a concern to you then any vet will accommodate your wishes. it is doubtful your husband will approve of this surgery since no urgency exists to perform it, so you do as you wish, it is your dog.

wellness check with your vet ......ask lots of questions there .............health care what a great concept
