'I'm a vet – never make these three mistakes that I did with my own dog'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A vet spoke candidly about three mistakes he made with his own dog – and urged others to avoid them. Amir Anway outlined the following three mishaps on TikTok – and you can read about them below.

Amir said: "Number one is I castrated my male dog way too early. He now has hip dysplasia and elbow problems. He's already developing arthritis and he's only four-year-old.

I was led to believe that castrating them when they reach six months old is normal. "He was a large breed dog and it's not normal, guys.

There are different age recommendations for different dog breeds and when you should be castrating and spaying them so please don't just listen to anyone that says castrate them when they reach six-months-old.
