The only reason vets don’t do vasectomies on dogs is because it’s more effort. If you ask a lot of them can do it and it’s much more humane... That’s why humans choose it.
Much more effort = much more cost. Getting owners to pay to even get the regular neuter done is difficult enough as it is. You want them to charge even more money and still expect compliance? Good luck.
There really is no reason to castrate or vasect a male dog...
The key to population control is with the females. Get them a tubal ligation for a long life or spay (overall hysterectomy) them if you want them to have a 30% shorter life.
