Spay And Neuter your Animals

There are several benefits to having your own pet spayed or neutered besides helping solve this crisis. The benefits include reducing the risk of some of the most common types of cancers, making it likelier for animals to live a longer and healthier life, and nixing aggression problems. This causes animals mark their territory with strong-scented urine. And contray to common

Dog breeding is dangerous because to make a perfect dog they too often inbreed and cause birth defects and other health issues in dogs. Terry Allen, an “In These Times” senior editor who has written the magazine’s monthly investigative health and science column since 2006, argues in “We’re Breeding Dogs to Death” that “neither price, pedigree nor being loved like a member of the family can shield a dog from the pain, breathing difficulties, cancer, panoply of debilitating genetic disorders, mental illness, crippling physiognomy and shortened life span that disproportionately plague purebreds.” The article “Selective Breeding or Artificial Selection” explains that in dogs, the “frequency of being homozygous for rare recessive disorders increases when inbreeding occurs, potentially causing severe

Imagine you were in a hospital and your doctor mentions pet therapy and you decide to try it out. Your doctor arranges for you to meet with someone in the morning to tell you all about it. Soon after that, a dog and its handler visit you in your room and you are invited to pet the dog, play with it, and ask questions to the owner. After the visit you realize you're smiling, less tired, and more optimistic, and you can't wait to tell your friends and family about it, and can't wait for tomorrow to see the dog again. This is called pet therapy. Because pet therapy is popular today people should understand the physical, mental, and social benefits before making a decision.

Furthermore, she explained the process and methods used for spaying and neutering gets rid of vital organs–the testes and ovaries. Becker said, “a complete removal of the gonads...can force the adrenal glands to produce sex hormones”( Becker para 33). 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

Questions arise concerning the treatment of therapy dogs when visiting patients and whether animal-assisted therapy really works at all; however, those who disagree aren’t looking at the big picture. Animal-assisted therapy is both an ethical and effective therapy method due to its success in treating those with chronic diseases, disorders, and managing stress and anxiety. The varieties of cases regarding the success of therapy dog treatments far surmount the amount of cases saying otherwise. Animal-assisted therapy stems from the human-animal connection, one of the most unique and powerful bonds man has ever experienced. It is that connection that allows animal assisted therapy to be a critical part of everyone’s daily

One of the most common pre-existing perceptions towards assistance dogs are that individuals using these animals are just taking advantage of the system. In the online survey it was found that men have a higher misrepresentation towards both service dogs and emotional support dogs compared to women clearly depicted by the table in Appendix C (Schoenfeld-Tacher, Hellyer, Cheung, & Kogan, 2017, p. 10). This may be because women are perceived to be more comforting, as research has found that “increased levels of testosterone correlate with increased levels of suspicion and decreased interpersonal trust” (Schoenfeld-Tacher, Hellyer, Cheung, & Kogan, 2017, p. 10).

“A Healthy Dose of Puppy Love” by Kathryn Satterfield describes a new study that shows that dogs can improve an individual’s health by lowering anxiety levels and by improving cardiac function. Specially trained therapy dogs visited a hospital in November in Dallas, Texas to help conduct a study that animals can improve an individual’s health, to do this people split the seventy six patients into a total of three groups: visitors with dogs, visitors, and an “at rest group.” For accurate results researches preformed anxiety tests on the patients before, during, and after the visit, and the results concluded that patients who received visits from people had encountered a ten percent drop in anxiety, while patients who received visits from dogs

Research with dogs from animal shelters and the practice surgeries will, in the long run, aid the lives of animals by training veterinarians.

Every day in America and across the world litter on top of litter of unwanted puppies are given birth to by dogs un-expectantly. There is one common solution to this issue that majority of veterinarians share with pets owners during their pets doctor visits; it is recommended that all dog owners be responsible by either spaying or neutering their pets by 6 months old and/or before they enter heat-for females or reach maturity-for males, and begin having the desire to want to mate.

A common solution to this issue would be the spaying and neutering of shelter animals so as to not promote any offspring. The current problem of overpopulation of animals in the United States stems from the number of male and female dogs that are intact and can reproduce offspring (Feldmann 959). Through personal observation, the process of neutering a male dog and spaying female dog is extremely quick and

Female dogs five plus years not spayed can have all kinds of health issues. They can get uterine cancer, breast cancer, anemia, and pyometra infection. All of these things can not only be very uncomfortable on your dog, but lead to death. They will give you a very large and expensive vet bill for

Pets are homeless everywhere. In the U.S there are approximately 6-8 million homeless animals entering shelters every year. Unfortunately only half of these pets get adopted, while the rest are put down. There are too many dogs and cats in America, we do not need any more breeders when a perfectly healthy animal sits in a local shelter waiting to be adopted. A solution for this animal overpopulation problem is spaying and neutering your pet. This the only 100% effective method of birth control for dogs and cats. Many benefits come when you spay/neuter your pet. Including health benefits, cost benefits, and curbing bad behavior.

A spay or neuter procedure can help your dog or cat live longer. In female pets, spaying reduces the likelihood of deadly uterine and breast cancer, especially when it’s

They say dogs are a man’s best friend, some agree with this and others not so much. There are those who are dog lovers and those who are not. I happen to be a dog lover a huge one, I can’t walk out of PetSmart without wanting to adopt a cute little dog even though I already have a cute little dog at home named Soda. She is part whippet and part terroir, I have always wondered what type of health problems she could have especially since she is getting older. Soda is also a great family dog she loves to give kisses and is a pro at cuddling. Whippets make great family dogs but they also come with health problems.

A spay or ovariohysterectomy is a surgical procedure where a veterinarian removes the uterus and the ovaries. The primary reason for conducting a spay surgery is sterilization of the animal that they may no longer reproduce. Spays have secondary benefits including decrease chances of neoplasia within the reproduction system, dystocia and pyometra. Similar to a spay surgery, a neuter or castration is a surgical procedure where a veterinarian removes the testicles. The primary reason for conducting a neuter is sterilization of the animals that they may no longer reproduce. Neuters have secondary benefits including decrease or prevention of aggressive behavior, scrotal and testicular infection and neoplasia, prostatic disease and perianal tumors.
