I’ve noticed an increase in clients discussing breeding their pets. Animals that, IMO, definitely should not be bred. What do you say to encourage the client to reconsider?

It depends. What animals shouldn't be bred and why? If it's because of medical reasons, I agree with you. But animals have to continue the circle of life.

You must see the absurd volume of pets being euthanized because there are more animals than homes?

Do these customers want to breed their pets in order to sell them for a profit? If so, this may be a bit shady, but at the end of the day, those pets aren't mine so there's not much I can do.

I would tell them about the medical risks of breeding animals excessively. So many dog owners breed their female dogs over and over until the poor lady can't bear children anymore because it's too much for her. I would show them studies or statistics that talk about this issue in particular.

I have a friend who works as the vet at a shelter. Half her job is euthanizing animals who can't find homes. I make it clear how many pets are put down because of over breeding but after that, it is really the owner's call. Nothing more I can do.
