My male dog cries when female is in heat. Will calming treats help?

Question

My male dog Henny has been crying and whining because my female dog bailey is on heat, we keep them seperated but he still cries all the time. We are thinking of getting him neutered or her spayed, it just can’t be done right away. I have been looking at calling treats or bites, would this help Henny to stop crying so much? Also, when it does come time to spay or neuter which would be better? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 25 lbs

You can try the calming treats but they may not help much. Vigorous activity every day like running or playing fetch will likely be most beneficial for him. Spaying and neutering provide health benefits for both sexes and I recommend to have both pets fixed. Henry can be neutered at any point but he will still have sperm in the reporoductive tract for about a month so he can still impregnate a female in heat. Bailey should be spayed 2-3 months after the last day of her heat cycle. She will come into heat about every 6 months. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
