To anyone wanting more information, all you need to do is google:
quackwatch mercola
Here are a few links: FDA Orders Dr. Joseph Mercola to Stop Illegal Claims Joseph Mercola D.O. - The Skeptic's Dictionary - Skepdic.com Joseph Mercola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
from that site:
Mercola has received two warning letters from the FDA for violations of marketing laws.[4][5] A 2006 BusinessWeek editorial criticized Mercola's marketing practices as "relying on slick promotion, clever use of information, and scare tactics."[6]
There is SO much out there about this person and I simply do not have the time to post it all; but I wanted people to be aware.
I personally believe that part of responsible pet ownership is altering pets. I have had NO issues with any pup that I have spayed or neutered and I have had plenty in my home over the years. |
I agree with your concerns. Responsible pet owners spay/neuter their pets. I had two cats, spayed young, lived to 18yrs and 17yrs respectfully. Our Black Lab is 11 and going strong.
The benefits outweigh the risks greatly.
