Info on spay/neuter or diet?

[xpaeanx]

So, I have to do a research paper for school... it's supposed to be on a debatable topic that I feel "strongly" about...

So I think I'm going to do either the effects of spay/neuter... will probably lean towards neuter with an emphasis on doing it too early.

OR I want to do a paper on feeding dogs raw.

I can only use 2 internet sources...

The other have to be written forms(pamphlets, journals, books, magazines, etc...).

So if anyone knows of any info they'd like to pass on to me that would be great!

btw, if it's an online reprint of something that was published, that doesn't count as "internet".... so if you have any of those links you can pass them on too!

TIA

I would think nutrition would be a lot easier to find sources for. There's such a large number of organizations and agencies who are pushing for spay/neuter, and don't care about the dog's age, that I think looking for information about waiting would be difficult.

There are a lot of posts here with links to articles about nutrition. Whole Dog Journal would be useful too, I'm sure, and that's printed.

well, i can give you an online link to a journal of american veterinary medical association artcle on spay/neuter if that helps.

AVMA - Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association - 231(11):1665 - Citation
