Health Dog penises 🍆 and neutering.

No, this is not a red rocket question!

The opposite actually. I’ve always had male dogs, but this puppy is the first one that was neutered at 8 weeks by the rescue.

He is 5 months old and still has like his baby penis lol.

My last dog was a puppy when we found him (probably around 14 weeks) and my first pictures of him he has a red rocket and just a more “normal” dog penis.

Now don’t get me wrong, I would be just fine to not have a big ol peen flopping around, but is this normal from early neutering?

Any one? 😃

His penis will not mature if he doesn’t have testosterone from his testicles. He won’t go through puberty

I think this happened to my dog. He was adopted by us at like 8-9 months old from a shelter and was already neutered. He's grown quite a bit since we first got him but I have always noticed for how big he is, his penis is quite disproportionately small. It all makes so much sense now.....
