Unless you have any laws or regulations that state you must sterilize your dog it is a personal choice. However, spaying has many great benefits including reduced risks of serious infections, and cancers and unwanted pregnancy being the main one. A spayed female will not go into heat, so you do not have to worry about any mess to clean if she is an indoor dog.
