What health risks do unspayed female dogs face besides bleeding?

Question

What are the negatives of having an unspayed female dog (other than bleeding) ? Thanks for the help

Vanessa Yeager DVM MPH · Accepted Answer

Hi again! Thanks for your question. Negatives of having an unsprayed female (intact female) are uterine infections (pyometra) which can be fatal, mammary cancers, ovarian tumors, and a shorter life span because of the development of these issues. One other negative is an undesired pregnancy. Hope this helps!
