Dogs do not need to be sterilized after they are 8 years old. If the dog has no reproductive system diseases, it is generally not necessary to be sterilized. Moreover, 8-year-old dogs are elderly dogs, and the functions of various body organs are gradually declining. Some dogs suffer from heart disease and respiratory diseases. General anesthesia may cause breathing difficulties, heart failure, and even life-threatening. Postoperative recovery is also relatively slow, so sterilization can be avoided.

Things to keep in mind when neutering your dog:

1. The day before the dog sterilization operation, it is necessary to fast for 8 hours in advance to avoid food reflux due to the vomiting reaction during anesthesia and cause the dog to suffocate.

2. It is necessary to ensure that the dog is vaccinated to prevent the dog from being more susceptible to viral diseases due to the decline in resistance.

3. Before the dog is sterilized, a biochemical examination is required to evaluate the dog's physical condition, so as to avoid the dog's discomfort during the operation.
