If you buy a little snore food for the family to feed the dog, as so many do, it will cost you about six times as much as a good dehydrated dog food.
If you feed canned or semi moist food to your pet, it will cost about three times as much as a poorer kibble-type food to which even the cheapest meat is added.
By adding leftover cooking fat to a dehydrated food you will save even more and there is a better way to feed a dog. Such a diet provides three times as many calories per pound as meat so that only one third as much needs to be fed. Of course, the added water in-creases the bulk.
All these methods require only common sense and most dogs can be made to thrive without digestive disorders on combinations of these different types of food.
Most owners are not aware of the chain of events in a surgical procedure. The most common procedures, an ova rio-hysterectomy, known also as a spaying (not spading) operation. Having found the dog to be in satisfactory health for surgery, the veterinarian may administer drugs to sedate, prevent excess salivation,and empty the stomach to prevent vomiting during the operation but this is not always advisable. The dog is placed on a prep table where at rained assistant holds and cajoles it while the veterinarian administers short-acting anesthetic intravenously. An enforceable tube is inserted in the trachea (windpipe) and anesthesia is continued with gas and oxygen provided by a gas anesthesia machine. When the correct level of anesthesia is reached, the patient's fur is clipped on and around the surgical site. The area is scrubbed and the pet is taken into surgical theater. The surgeon, who is dressed in cap, mask, and clean garments (often called greens), scrubs his or her hands with a medicated soap, dries them, and dons a sterile surgical gown and sterile gloves.
