Neutering can make a dog’s life healthier, even if it is less romantic

I WAS very pleased to see you included information on the Dogs Trust-subsidised neutering scheme for people on means tested benefits in your pets series (Irish Examiner, July 12/13).

However, while reading the feature I came across a comment from your pet expert, Ger Philpott, in response to a reader who was wondering whether neutering his three-year-old Labrador cross would help him become less aggressive with other dogs.

Mr Philpott responded that he wasn’t a fan of neutering animals.
