Q: Should we neuter Max, our 3-year-old Jack Russell terrier? Our veterinarian described the behavioral benefits of neutering, but those are not an issue for us. Max is healthy and lots of fun, and we just want him to live forever.
A: Keeping Max around as long as possible is a good enough reason to have your veterinarian neuter him, because many studies show that sterilized dogs live longer than what veterinarians call “intact” dogs.
