This article by Dr. Jeff Young, DVM is fascinating. So much interesting information about the overpopulation problems we have here in the United States. While “Adopt Don’t Shop” is a great idea, it isn’t enough. Dr. Young explains why the most important thing we can do to stop pet overpopulation is to spay/neuter, and to educate owners.
What do you think? Do you spay or neuter all your pets? Do you adopt a homeless pet, or do you shop at a Pet Store or breeder? The spay and neuter rates in the U.S. do seem to be improving, but not enough.

Welcome to PetMomma! I'm a lifetime animal lover, wife, and mom who's had all kinds of pets over the years – horses, snakes, lizards, chinchillas, birds, cats, dogs, you name it! The current menagerie includes a bratty (but lovable) Chi-Rat Terrier mix, a chill bearded dragon, two cats who think they run the place, and one African Grey who actually DOES run the place! I love to write and share our pet adventures, and realized I wasn't doing enough of it. So this blog was born to celebrate all the chaos, cuddles, and comedy that comes with being a pet parent. Join me!
