The Dangerous Consequence of Dog Roaming

Roaming is not just inconvenient—it can be deadly. Intact male dogs are more likely to wander in search of a mate or to expand their territory. That means more time near roads, more encounters with unfamiliar dogs, and a greater risk of becoming lost, injured or hit by a vehicle. Castration can reduce hormonally driven roaming by up to 90%. Less roaming means: • Less risk of road traffic accidents • Less fighting with other dogs • Less chance of becoming lost • Less opportunity to get into dangerous situations Neutering is not the right decision for every dog at every age, but reducing roaming is one of its clearest potential benefits.
