EP 52: Hormone Replacement Therapy in Neutered and Spayed Dogs with Dr. Peter Dobias

Author: Dr. Judy Morgan March 18, 2025 Duration: 35:36

Dr. Peter Dobias, DVM, HMC and Dr. Judy discuss the impact of spaying and neutering on dogs' health, highlighting the rise in aggression and chronic injuries in neutered dogs. Dr. Peter shares his personal experience with his Border Collie, Pax, who showed significant behavioral and physical improvements after undergoing hormone replacement therapy.  There is a role of luteinizing hormone (LH) in inflammation and its effects on dogs' health post-neutering. Veterinarians need to question traditional practices and consider hormone-sparing sterilization methods. Learn about the complexity of hormone replacement therapy in females and the ongoing research in this area.  Learn why hormonal health is key to our dogs' health and longevity.  Fascinating stuff!

I feel good recommending Raised Right because most of their recipes have less than 2% carbs, and their recipes are so simple. Many have just 10 ingredients or less, they were able to formulate their adult dog recipes to be complete and balanced using only whole foods without any synthetic vitamins or minerals. Raised Right has also teamed up with both Dr Karen Becker and Dr Barbara Royal to create a new line of veterinary support recipes to help with specific health issues.
