Facts About Pet Overpopulation in the U.S.

 

  • National statistics show that approximately 5 million to 7 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year.
  • Approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized (60 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats).

 

  • It is impossible to determine how many stray dogs and cats live in the United States; estimates for cats alone range up to 70 million.
  • Most strays are lost pets who are not kept properly indoors or provided with identification. 

 

  • Only ten percent of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered. 

 

 

 

Dear Rocky,

Dear Rocky,

 

I love to eat so much. But after every meal I feel bloated and uncomfortable.  And my owners complain that I "stink" up the place after I eat.  I have tried different diets and eating slower, but that hasn't helped. Do you have any suggestions?

 

Buffy the Bloated Boston  

 

Dear Buffy,
 
You may be suffering from indigestion.  I used to have the same problem.  My mom uses a PROBIOTIC that she gets from our vet.  One capsule mixed with my food daily stopped the bloating and gas. 
 
I know that Alta Vista Veterinary Hospital sells a very effective probiotic called PB8.  Have your mom try a bottle and your symptoms should disappear or greatly improve.
 
Have a wonderful and safe January.
Thank you for trusting us to provide
the health care needs of your beloved, furry
family members.
