Pet Pharma

Another issue that is being hotly debated and worries many weredogs is this increasing trend of people drugging their dogs. It is done more and more with all pets. But dogs are the main recipients.

More and more weredogs are showing up at pack meetings loopier than a cooped up kitten. At first we did not know what was going on. We thought some were somehow getting into drugs. Well they were. Through their families, the people they trust.

I have been involved in 2 dog interventions. These are more difficult than those with people, for the simple fact that it is next to impossible to get the people on board.

The main reason people are more drugging their dogs is the desire to have their dogs act more like people, not like their natural temperament directs them.

This is another of those unfortunate and troubling outcomes of domestication and civilization.

An again, people are also doing the same thing to themselves.
