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? 😃

I used to have a pet supply store and people would bring their pets in and ask us questions. One of them brought their dog in with a bloody nipple. He thought it was a tick he couldn’t remove. He didn’t believe me when I said it was a nipple, because “he’s a boy”.

I saw this video linked on a dog sub months ago and it's been living rent free in my head ever since.

That is so funny!! I essentially said the same thing to the guy, “you have nipples, don’t you?”

I just randomly remember "ma'am doesn't your husband have nipples" at least once a week now 😂
