Want to Spay or Neuter Your Pets Without the Fuss of a Snip?

Then Chemspay may be for you... although it does involve injecting chemicals (thus the name) into your lady dog that induce premature menopause. Ehhhh... I don't really know how much better that sounds, really.

They're developing these drugs, as you can read in this article from The Week, so that people can quickly and affordably stop homeless dogs from reproducing, thereby curbing their population, the diseases they spread, and any negative impact they have on the environment and human population.

A number of these drugs are being tested both here and abroad. Chemspay, the one that gives your dog perma-hot flashes (seriously, who wants to be in menopause forever?), believes it will take 6-9 years before they gain FDA approval. The ASPCA is jonesing for these drugs, as it may stem the tide of dogs and cats being brought into their pounds, and the money saved from having to perform so many spaying and neutering surgeries could be used to buy more space and resources to hold more animals in their shelters in the first place.

While all of this sounds good, I think I'll stick to spaying and neutering any of my animals the old-fashioned way. Surgery isn't fun, but at the risk of nasty side effects is low. Who knows what happens when you chemically remove a dog's boning ability? Plus, no offense to any stud dogs out there, but I'm not a huge fan of seeing giant dog balls bouncing around town.

Just saying.
