Tambi Renee: The benefits of spaying/neutering household animals

Millions of animals are left to wander the streets every year; a sad result of pet overpopulation. Many of these animals, says animal rights’ advocate Tambi Renee, struggle to find food and adequate shelter, causing suffering, pain, disease, and a terrible quality of life.

Tambi Renee believes that spaying and neutering can help to curb the effects of pet homelessness, reduce animal suffering and improve the quality of your pet’s life. Spaying and neutering, according to the Humane Society of the United States, helps to reduce pet homelessness, improve pet health, reduce bad pet behavior and decrease the costs to potentially devastating disease and suffering far into the future.

Tambi Renee has long been a believer that every pet deserves the opportunity to live a long, happy and healthy life. She firmly believes that spaying and neutering is a great first step towards a lengthy, healthy and productive relationship with your pet. Tambi Renee and the Humane Society of the United States believe that more should be done to increase awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering. Some states, according to the Humane Society, are forced to euthanize over 300,000 dogs and cats each year, in large part due to pet overpopulation caused by the lack of proper household pet spaying and neutering.

Tambi Renee and the Human Society also understand that spaying and neutering can help to drastically increase the length and quality of a pet’s life. States with the highest rate of spaying and neutering, according to a recent article in the USA Today, also experience the longest pet life spans on the country. 

Tambi Renee: The Painful Process of Claw Removal

Cats rely on scratching as a defense mechanism; a natural way to defend themselves from potential predators and attacks from other cats. Many people perceive scratching to be a threat to themselves, says Tambi Renee, and will ultimately resort to declawing as a way to avoid future scratching injury. Declawing, says Tambi Renee, is an unnecessary and painful surgical procedure that adversely affects millions of cats’ lives every year.

The claw removal process is highly invasive and painful. The standard declawing method, says Tambi Renee, generally involves the amputation of bone in each of the cat’s toes using either a guillotine clipper or scalpel. This often results, says Tambi Renee, is painful wounds that affect the way a cat walks and jumps, and has the possibility to completely alter the way a cat reacts to threatening situations. The declawing procedure has many health and behavioral risks that can affect a cat throughout the duration of its life.

Tambi Renee understands that many cat owners are concerned about the potential for scratching, not only on themselves but also on their possessions and their furniture. Though she realizes that no one wants to be the victim of a scratch wound, she also understands that declawing surgery places undue stress and hurt on the cat, and that it should be avoided at nearly every cost.

Tambi Renee knows that people love their animals, and that the bond between owner and cat can be strong and mutually beneficial. She also knows that the quality of this bond can be adversely affected by painful declawing procedure. Tambi Renee supports the complete elimination of declawing because she understands its complete lack of necessity.

Tambi Renee Recommends Providing Scratching Alternatives for Your Cat

Declawing is unfortunately still a common practice in this country. Many people, says Tambi Renee, are in the dark about the many potential harmful side effects of cat declawing, and they continue to use declawing as painful and uninformed way to protect their health and the quality of their furniture.

Tambi Renee understands the harmful effects of declawing, and that the outdated practice actually leads to behavioral issues that pose a much bigger threat to a person’s health than scratching ever could. According to Tambi Renee, a lifetime animal rights’ supporter, declawing may actually lead to litter-box avoidance and biting, and can threaten the cat’s overall quality of life. People looking for a way to avoid the damage or health threat of scratching, she says, should seek out scratching alternatives that ensure a lifetime of good health for both the cat and the owner.

By providing a cat with scratching posts throughout your residence, says Tambi Renee, you can provide your cat multiple venues on which to exercise their natural scratching behavior. This can reduce the likelihood of furniture damage and provide your cat with a healthy, safe and natural area for scratching. Tambi Renee also encourages cat owners to encourage scratching post usage at a very early age in the cat’s life. By nudging kittens to use scratching alternatives from the onset of their lives, you help establish a behavior that can resonate throughout their lifespan.

Tambi Renee wants everyone to know the potential health detriment of cat declawing, and to show people the many alternatives to this needless and painful practice.

Tambi Renee Recommends Careful Pet Monitoring

Tambi Renee is well-versed on the dangers common household consumables pose to dogs and cats. One way to keep your pets from these dangers, Tambi Renee says, is to educate yourself on the potential risks of common household foods and top remove your pet’s access to these foods.

It may not be easy to keep your pet safe at all times, but there are ways to eliminate potential problems and prevent common sources of pet sickness and death. Certain beverages, says Tambi Renee, can be sickening and deadly to your animals, and should always be closed or capped off to keep pets from consuming them. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages particularly pose very unique and intense health risks to small household animals. Tambi Renee recommends keeping these types of beverages away from your pets at all times.

Tambi Renee also recommends reading pet food labels and keeping up-to-date and the latest pet food ingredients. Some materials used to make pet food have even been found to pose health risks to humans, and it’s important for people to protect themselves from possible dangers.  Tambi Renee remains about conducting research on and learning about pet food before giving it to her animals. This helps her pets maintain good health and live longer lives. 

Tambi Renee also suggests keeping track of the potential for plants, both indoor and outdoor, to pose a risk to your animals. Often times common house plants and naturally-growing plant species can be a major health concern to your animals.

Tambi Renee Passionate About Animal Health

Tambi Renee takes an active interest in her pets’ health, and hopes that everyone else take simple steps to prevent common causes of illness and premature pet death.

Common foods, household items and even houseplants can be lethal for dogs and cats. It is easy, says Tambi Renee, to confuse things for being harmless and to inadvertently poison a pet. Tambi Renee has an intense love for her animals and takes the time to research the things that may be harmful to a pet’s health and life.

Many of the things that can negatively affect an animal are things humans consume on a daily basis. Tambi Renee recommends keeping things like baby food, citrus oil extracts and fat trimmings away from or out of an animal’s reach. Each of these items can lead to severe health problems that can not only be costly, but also potentially deadly to a pet owner’s best friend. 

All pets, says Tambi Renee, deserve an owner that has a vested interest in their animal’s health and quality of life. Maintaining an active interest in what a pet consumes in just one way a person can take good care of their pet, says Tambi Renee. It’s easy to be negligent and not be aware of the risks of everyday food items to animals. Tambi Renee makes every effort to keep her animals out of common foods and to feed them only specifically-approved foods. It’s no easy task, but monitoring your pet’s diet can help that animal live a long and healthy life.

Pet Food Recalls Information from Tambi Renee

In a recent study of pet foods, the FDA declared that, across all of the samples tested, they found contamination almost exclusively in raw pet foods, with one exceptional case in a dry cat food sample. Animal rights activist Tambi Renee has taken a closer look at the study, however, and concluded that there is something suspicious afoot over at the FDA. After examining the time period during which the samples were taken, Tambi Renee concluded that there was not a single raw pet food recall. Processed pet foods did not fare so well.

Rather than the single case of dry cat food contamination reported by the FDA, Tambi Renee found that during the period of the study, the United States was faced with the largest recall of pet kibble in its history due to salmonella contamination. This recall, says Tambi Renee, affected numerous pet food brands, including Diamond Dog and Cat Food, Natural Balance Dog and Cat Food, and several others.

Tambi Renee thinks that clearly something is wrong with the numbers here, or the FDA has found itself in an awful lot of confusion. As Tambi Renee points out, either the FDA has failed to follow its own rules with regard to zero tolerance for salmonella by not recalling those raw pet foods, or they did not, in fact, inspect those pet foods cited in the study. Similarly, did they forget about the massive pet food recall when tracking the statistics on pet kibble? Perhaps there is some forgetfulness afoot, but more likely, says Tambi Renee, is government blowback against raw food diets.

Tambi Renee on Raw Diets for Your Pets

Recently, the FDA released a report steering pet owners away from feeding raw diets to their pets. Raw diets, claimed the FDA, saw a far greater incidence of bacterial contamination than other pet food products. According to animal rights activist Tambi Renee, however, this warning is misguided. Raw diets are, in fact, at a much lower risk for contamination and also provide better nutrition. Additionally, raw foods, says Tambi Renee, do not contain salvage food products that have been unequivocally declared unfit for human consumption, and should also not be fed to pets.

According to Tambi Renee, raw food diets can be prepared at home and can leave your pets with healthier skin and fur, as well as cleaner teeth. Pets eating a raw diet consisting of meats, fruits, and vegetables also typically have more energy. Tambi Renee counters claims by the FDA that raw pet food diets also pose a risk to human handlers and may result in unbalanced diets for pets, noting that humans should only be handling meats that they would otherwise eat themselves, and that it is not difficult to establish a healthy raw food diet in consultation with your pet's veterinarian.

In contradiction to the study by the FDA, Tambi Renee notes that there have been no recent food recalls of raw pet food (some pet owners choose to purchase pre-made raw diets), while there have been significant recalls of processed pet foods. Tambi Renee asks, if raw pet foods were so dangerous to our health and the health of our animals, why hasn’t the FDA recalled any of them? Perhaps because, as Tambi Renee argues, these foods are not nearly as dangerous as they are made out to be.
