A study by VetCompass Australia on Rottweilers found that neutering before one year of age reduces lifespan by up to one-and-a-half years in males and one year in females compared to intact dogs.
A recent analysis of available clinical records collated by VetCompass Australia of 3085 intact and 4100 neutered Rottweilers from July 1994 to June 2021 found those dogs neutered before one year of age had a shortened lifespan of one-and-a-half years in males and one year in females when compared to their intact counterparts.
Despite the findings, Dr. Joone strongly encouraged owners to desex their dog, suggesting that owners should focus on managing their dog’s weight gain which was common after the procedure. “There’s a strong suspicion that the reduced lifespan is more to do with weight issues than the neutering itself, so I would encourage owners to go ahead and neuter their dog but make sure you keep it at a good, healthy weight.
