My Wife's Sister Put Her Dog Through Terrible Pet Pain

By Odessa Harpin

I don't think I've seen anything like it before. She wasn't very big at all. I believe she was a miniature shitsu. To use the word "miniature" was appropriate no matter what she was. She was an incredibly bad tempered little dog and always wanted to bite people who would get close to her or her owner. She had a nasty disposition and wasn't afraid to let you know it.

She died of poor nutrition not too long ago which is why I'm referring to her in the past tense.

Let me tell you something; the kind of food my in-laws were feeding that poor dog was an abomination even though these types of dogs are prone to having chronic tooth problems. Dogs are not equipped to handle the kinds of foods we eat. The pet pain it was in was obviously distressful even while it was still relatively young. I think her teeth were her biggest problem. Her irritation grew more and more over time because they never acknowledged her need for pet pain relief. They always fed her the same food that they were eating. They didn't seem to care about proper nutrition for her at all. I noticed over time when they would periodically bring the dog over to my house that her teeth slowly rotted away. My in-laws simply believed such a thing was common to these types of dogs and just ignored it. Even though they were actually causing the pet pain by denying her of a proper nutritious diet it never concerned them.

The dog went blind eventually and over time went into a state of canine paralysis. I feel that by exposing what my own in-laws did to their dog, even though it's a terrible thing to write about, I might be able to shame others when it comes to their dog's nutritional requirements into correcting their behavior. With all of the data and knowledge available to common people like my in-laws it seems to me that no dog should ever have to go through the kind pain that little shitsu went through simply because they were too lazy to do a little dog pain research. I found an excellent site called AvaFrick.com where anyone can go to find out immensely valuable information about the nutritional needs of their pets. My wife no longer associates with her sister and neither do I. Because of built in programming dogs are compelled to protect people they have imprinted on.

Don't you think we should do a better job protecting them? - 29953
