Is Your Neutered Dog "Hormonally Bankrupt?" The New Science of Canine HRT
Thursday, 26 March, 2026
In this episode, Scott Sheaffer explores the groundbreaking and often controversial topic of canine hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for neutered male dogs. For years, "fixing" our dogs was seen as the gold standard of care, but we are now discovering the long-term behavioral and physical costs of "hormonal bankruptcy." From irrational fears and noise phobias to muscle wasting and joint issues, the lack of testosterone in neutered males might be a hidden culprit behind many common behavioral struggles in some dogs.Learn about the science of "Spay-Neuter Syndrome" and how the Dogosterone™ protocol is helping thousands of dogs regain their confidence and mobility. Scott discusses the role of luteinizing hormone (LH) in anxiety, the physical-behavioral connection, and why your dog's "training issue" might actually be a metabolic one.
