In Sweden, fewer than 7 percent of female dogs and even fewer males are neutered.

Indeed, until 1988, it was illegal for Swedes to remove the reproductive organs of their dogs and cats unless medically indicated.

The same is true in Norway, where, with a few exceptions, it is presently illegal to de-sex healthy dogs.

Castration of dogs must be carried out by an authorised veterinarian. In Sweden, castration was made exempt from the prohibition to remove body parts in 1988, hence neutering is allowed under the Swedish Animal Protection Act [djurskyddslagen (1988:534) ??10/11] and its regulations 1988:539.
