New Book Explores "Fur Baby Culture" and Its Impact on Pet Health
A new book, "Veterinary Controversies and Ethical Dilemmas", argues that the growing trend of "fur baby culture" is driving a wave of pet overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
According to the authors, more and more people are seeing pets as family members rather than animals and treating them like human children, leading to increased spending on medical procedures.
"Fur baby culture" is a real phenomenon, and not all veterinarians are on board with it.
- Pet parents are spending more on medical procedures
- Overdiagnosis and overtreatment are on the rise
- Declining animal welfare is a concern
The authors hope to bring about a change with this new information.
Author's summary: New book explores the impact of "fur baby culture" on pet health.
