This means the adrenal glands over work themselves by doing extra work, and it’s difficult to keep up with the body’s demand for sex hormones. Just like any other organ, every organ is important for the body to function well. Removing these valuable organs would be removing the bodies ability to produce significant sex-hormone secreting tissues. She uses variety of research studies on disorders and diseases linked to spaying and neutering to support the fact that spaying and neutering worsens the health of a dog, whereas sterilization would be the solution to the

All dogs are desexed and microchipped prior to adoption and there is no space for argument in this matter. Desexing is important for several reasons but two of the most significant reasons are to decrease the chance of cancer and to mediate any aggressive behaviours. Fleaing and worming is encouraged monthly, and three months worth of this treatment is given to adopters. While at the shelter, I did encounter flea dirt on one of the dogs I was

Even though they have a good home they may be bread for puppies and those puppies who don’t get homes might be taken to the pound. Some dogs have had litter and then been abandoned because they now have a new dog to love.

From my opportunities while working and volunteering with veterinarians, I’m positive that my decision to pursue a career in the field of veterinary medicine is right for me. I enjoy the challenge and excitement that comes with the cases I possibly might encounter. This field is challenging, but I’m confident that I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to prosper. Through pursuing my professional goals, working and volunteering for veterinarians and animal facilities and my college experiences with animals has solidified my career choice and becoming a veterinarian is the only thing I want to do. Through my experiences, I have learned a veterinarian is not only a caretaker for the well-being of animals; he or she is also a role model, an instructor, and an active member of the community.

Though, there are many fears people have about the process of spaying and neutering. Some people come up with myths that can persuade others and motivate them not to get their animal spayed or neutered. “It’s better to have one litter before spaying a pet,” (“Myths and Facts”). This myth is not true, every litter counts and those females whom are spayed before they ever have their first heat are typically healthier. Also animals are now allowed to be spayed as young as eight weeks, and the procedure should be done as soon as possible. “But my pet is a purebred,” just because the animal is purebred does not necessarily make it any more special, some of the animals that go into shelters are purebreds as well, its breed does not stop it from being euthanized. “I want my dog to be protective,” dogs have natural instincts to protect its home and family, its personality is more defined by its environment and genetics than its sex hormones.

Many things in medical practices have been seen as inhumane or cruel and then outlawed. But when it comes to veterinary medicine, most people don't care to know what is happening because the patients are “just animals.” Many debates and arguments are brought up over the controversial practices or procedures in veterinary medicine.

They are mostly for cosmetic purposes or for personal convenience.
