Thanks Linda, for the warm wellcome.

Untill now I never heard of this too, maybe this subject suits better as a poll, and as animal lover i am sure that will be 100% yes to the answer if that should be done for a pet.

i was really surprised by the great number of nay-sayers here in Zurich, because according to the Swiss Law dogs (and cats) are family members, and there are lots of professinals specialists on dogs: since the vet, acumpucturists, massagists, Lawers and last but not least a political party: Hundepartei (Dog Party) only to name a few.

At the moment i have no dog, but i am looking for one (or two)to join my walkings of 1 to 1/2 hours (when i lived with my husband he had 1 Rottie and 1 Lab, both female), and i miss the dogs more them the man LOL).

Thanks for your kindness.
