I Tried The Weirdest Pet Products On The Internet From the Licki Brush to the Puppoose, The Washington Post's Sadie Dingfelder tried some of the oddest pet products for sale online. She'll tell us how it went. For instance, give your dog a toy - a rawhide chew, a tennis ball, or even this little plush figurine of Donald Trump - and your dog, regardless of political affiliation, will immediately tear it to shreds. Cats, on the other hand, dispose of their belongings by looking at them with such disdain that the toys self-destruct in shame. Listen Now Why Would You Want To Genetically Preserve Your Pet? Melain Rodriguez from Viagen Pets says there are lots of reasons you should think about Genetic Preservation. Collecting a sample of your pet's DNA could be helpful if there are medical advances that could potentially help your furry-friend. Of course, you could also use the DNA to clone your pet too.

Melain Rodriguez of Viagen Pets explains how the process of cloning your pet works, how much it costs and what happens when it goes wrong.

Conversamos en mi espacio radial con Dr. Otto Alvarado, Veterinario, sobre polémico y costoso procedimiento con el que los ricos clonan a sus mascotas. La clonación de mascotas es controvertida, pero está creciendo en popularidad a pesar de su alto costo. Viagen Pets and Equine, que es la primera y única empresa estadounidense que ofrece clonación comercial de perros y gatos, dice que ahora está clonando «más y más mascotas cada año» y ha clonado «cientos» desde que abrió por primera vez en 2015. La firma cobra 50.000 dólares por clonar un perro, 30.000 dólares por un gato y 85.000 dólares por un caballo. Obviamente, ese costo está fuera del alcance de la mayoría de nosotros, pero varias personas famosas han revelado en los últimos años que clonaron a sus perros o que planeaban hacerlo. En 2018, Barbra Streisand reveló que había usado Viagen para clonar dos cachorros de su antigua mascota Samantha. Ese mismo año, el periódico británico The Sun informó que el magnate de la música y juez de concursos de talentos Simon Cowell estaba «clonando al 100%» sus tres Yorkshire Terriers. Sin embargo, las organizaciones que defienden el bienestar animal han manifestado su preocupación sobre el procedimiento. Por ejemplo, varios estudios científicos han sugerido que los animales clonados son más propensos a sufrir enfermedades. Otros críticos señalan la alta tasa de fracaso de la industria, es decir, la gran cantidad de clones que no nacen en forma y saludables. Un informe de 2018 de la Universidad de Columbia en Nueva York situó la tasa de éxito promedio en solo el 20%. Esto significa que se necesitan numerosas madres sustitutas para permitir múltiples intentos. Por otra parte, el comportamiento no se clona y un animal clonado nunca será una copia exacta de la mascota original.

Animal cloning has come a long way since Dolly, the sheep but it remains as controversial as ever. It is a messy industry riding on the grief of pet lovers and driven by pet influencers who care more for their ROI than a genuine love of the dogs/cats. Cloning seems to run the grief industry from South Korea to China and the USA — PerPETuate, Sooam Biotech, Sinogene, Viagen Pets and new players sprucing up every year. In addition to the surrogate dogs in the laboratory, there are tens of thousands of homeless dogs awaiting adoption. If You Love Animals, Don't Clone Your Pet. Cloning your cat or dog won't bring your furry friend back, but force surrogate dogs to face multiple pregnancies and hormonal treatment just to create one desired pup.

The popularity of pet cloning has grown in recent years, as the technology becomes more accessible and cost comes down, but the practice remains ethically controversial and many who chose to clone, can face a backlash. Would you clone your dog? Cloning was once reserved for livestock, but it's popularity and accessibility has grown among dog and cat owners. But the practice remains controversial, and some say unethical. When Dolly the Sheep was cloned in 1996, she became the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer. It was a major turning point in science.  But dogs were much harder to clone because of the differences in the canine reproductive process.  So, when Snuppy, the Afghan Hound puppy, was successfully born in 2005 and named Time Magazine's Invention of the Year, it was clear this was the start of something big. Now ViaGen Pets and Equine in Texas is among a limited number of companies worldwide able to clone dogs, cats and horses for pet owners. While detractors disagree with cloning for a range of reasons, those who have done it, including Barbra Streisand, are thrilled with the result and are delighted to have a piece of their beloved dog who provided the cells to make the clone possible. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the world of cloning to understand why people choose to clone, and why those against it call it the canine version of A Handmaid's Tale.   About Melain Rodriguez, ViaGen Pets Melain has been a member of the ViaGen Pets and Equine team since 2008, having started as a Cell Culture Associate.

The one thing that is consistent with Canine Tactical is that they always work towards creating an elite working canine in there breeding program. Sometimes, Mother Nature doesn't cooperate or is inconsistent. It takes a lot of time and effort to properly care for, house, feed, raise, and train each pup to adulthood, only to discover not all of them meet the qualifications for an effective Police/Military Working Canine or a home/executive protection canine. Canine Tactical's breeding program is built on achieving a standardization of a Working Canine - a MIL-SPEC Canine. A standardization of a canine that has the traits that Canine Tactical desires; Hunt, Defense, and Fight. There are other traits that encompass an effective Working Canine, but these three are a top priority. After multiple breedings, Canine Tactical has yet to achieve stability in each canine. The stability found in Canine Eudoris® Actual, the top male canine is second to none.  A stable canine with these priority traits and characteristics make the learning and training process for the handler who doesn't fully understand the essence of handler skills, achievable, every time, all the time.

Morton/Method concept introduces the canines to use their nose from day one, no matter the age and no visual stimulus is applied. So he started the Clones in detection/hunting for the ball. The Morton/Method does not utilize the food reward concept. While the Clones were in the room he noticed they were all in hunt mode with no end in sight, nose to the ground (nonstop). They were sniffing seams of doors, running in and out of dark areas, and up and down stairs. They didn’t know what they were hunting, but they needed to hunt.
