Question
we have a litter of puppies that are 5 weeks old and getting teeth, we want to start weaning them, and are wondering what to start them on?


Answer
Dear Heather,

Thank you for writing to me.

This is a question that should be addressed to your vet who should have examined the puppies and dame by now to make sure that they are healthy, have their proper shots and start discussing spay/neutering.

I am not sure why you are breeding pitbulls when there are so many being destroyed every second...yes EVERY SECOND.  There are not enough homes for them, especially in this housing crisis.  People are leaving their animals behind, abandoning them in droves and the kill shelters are flooded.  Additionally, for each puppy born there is one less home for a dog on death row.

Please spay/neuter your dogs.

Thank you,
Shelley Davis
