Can a neutered dog still get worked up by a female in heat?

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If your dog is otherwise acting normally (eating, drinking, peeing, pooping) and not coughing, sneezing, having vomiting or diarrhea then yes, he could be smelling females in heat. If you are not planning on breeding him it is suggest you have him neutered. Many dogs run away in search of females and they can be difficult to manage. It is healthier for them overall to be neutered if not being used for breeding. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes!

Neutering doesn't remove all sexual behaviors, and male dogs who are neutered can still try to mate with females in heat. The good news is there is no way your female can get pregnant. The best way to stop that behavior from Jeeps is to have your female spayed. I hope this helps!

Neutered males can display erections and ejaculate just like intact males. They may mount in a display of dominance or can still mount to breed in the presence of an intact and receptive female. Correct the behavior immediately (even though no litters will come of it) and distract or separate him completely from the female until she is no longer in heat. Consider having your female spayed in the near future.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately there is not much to do other than keeping them apart. This is not due to stress it is likely due to the hormones she is emitting and what Anakin is picking up on. Having her spayed should help with this problem but for now I would keep them separate if possible. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. This is normal behavior for an intact male dog. If you have him neutered, his hormone levels will decrease. This will resolve this behavior. I hope this information helps!

It can take many weeks to even months for the hormones that are created by the ovaries to stop circulating within the blood stream. But then, some boy dogs are just obnoxious sniffers. Neutering the male may help with this behavior.

Are any other behaviors abnormal? Is he acting painful or sick? Maybe take him for a walk and see how he does away from the female. If you are still concerned that there may be a medical problem then I would recommend having him evaluated by a veterinarian. If it is just the female bothering him you may need to keep him somewhere else for the next 2 weeks or so. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
