      Yes! Many of the medical processes used on animals are the same as used on humans, and vetinary science is getting better and better as human medicine gets better.

      Yes – my puppy had to have key-hole surgery. The benefits to animals are massive, because they don’t understand and it’s easier for them to get on with their lives when there is less cutting and stitching. Try telling a puppy not to jump around!
