I am fostering a dog from the SPCA who was "debarked" by its previous owner. She tries to bark all the time. It sounds painful. Is it?

I would assume it is painful to have done but I dont know about now. To the best of my knowledge they remove a portion of the vocal cord. Not very many vets do it as it is kind of cruel, and it does not stop barking, just makes it hoarse. If you dont want barking dont ge ta dog! (Not you the previous owner) I too am a foster for dogs.

I have seen a few dogs that have been debarked, and I do not think that they seem to be an any pain when they try to bark, but I do think that it is mean and I would never do it to one of my dogs.

I would like to know that to. My dog Zoe is a chronic barker. I did not try a shock collar, but I tried a collar that made an annoying noise when she barked. It worked for 2 weeks and she got use to the noise and she started barking again, and the whole time she barked, her collar would be going off. Made it more annoying. I considered getting it done but my vet would not do it. She told me to go and buy a shock collar. She did not think it was humane.

Not painful, if it was they wouldn't bark at all. I have a dog that was debarked and she couldn't care less.

do no longer provide the dogs back to this individual. She gave the dogs up on the industry, you get carry of the dogs in sturdy faith, you have a bill of sale, you're looking after this dogs and exhibiting in charge puppy possession. do no longer settle for calls from her - (exchange your telephone quantity if she maintains to harrass you) yet whilst she is leaving harrassing telephone messages - make certain you save all of them and final yet definitely, no longer least,.in no way permit her comprehend the place you reside. i'd wager funds she will have the skill to no longer truthfully hire (and pay for) a criminal expert and if she does - you have the bill of sale - she has no criminal leg to stand on. forget approximately her - she's sounds off-stability.

Probably. People who say no did not ask the dog. And neither did I. That's why I say probably instead of yes or no.
