» Dog Contraceptives

Male dogs get neutered to prevent unwanted pups and simply to make them calmer and better house pets. But the thought of having a dogs testicles lopped off makes some dog owners squirm. It also brings an end to any hope of breeding Fido later in life.

A new approach is in the offing.

Implantable dog contraceptives would halt sperm production, and they’d be removable in case an owner later wanted to breed the pooch. The microchip-like device is already in use Down Under.

No word on whether the product curbs that thing dogs do to the legs of human visitors.
