Die beim #BARF zugeführte Proteinmenge liegt aufgrund des hohen Fleischanteils meistens mehr als 200% über dem Bedarf. Während beim Menschen zahlreiche Studien belegen, dass eine fleischarme bzw. vegetarische Ernährung die Tumorinzidenz beim Menschen senkt, existiert bei Hunden nur eine Studie, die ein höheres Mammatumorrisiko bei Verfütterung einer selbst zusammengestellten Ration im Vergleich zu kommerziellem Hundefutter feststellt. Hohe #Proteingehalte sind zudem für Hunde, die an #Nierenerkrankungen, #Leberkrankheiten, #Blasensteinen oder #Leishmaniose leiden, unzuträglich.Eine aktuelle Studie der LMU München, bei der 95 Barf-Futterpläne kontrolliert wurden, die Hundehalter eingesandt hatten, belegt dies. Insgesamt fielen in der Studie 60 Prozent der Rationen durch. Besonders die Calciumversorgung war kritisch zu sehen

SpringerLinkDomestic dogs (Canis familiaris) recognise meaningful content in monotonous streams of read speech - Animal CognitionDomestic dogs (Canis familiaris) can recognize basic phonemic information from human speech and respond to commands. Commands are typically presented in isolation with exaggerated prosody known as dog-directed speech (DDS) register. Here, we investigate whether dogs can spontaneously identify meaningful phonemic content in a stream of putatively irrelevant speech spoken in monotonous prosody, without congruent prosodic cues. To test this ability, dogs were played recordings of their owners reading a meaningless text which included a short meaningful or meaningless phrase, either read with unchanged reading prosody or with an exaggerated DDS prosody. We measured the occurrence and duration of dogs’ gaze at their owners. We found that, while dogs were more likely to detect and respond to inclusions that contained meaningful phrases spoken with DDS prosody, they were still able to detect these meaningful inclusions spoken in a neutral reading prosody. Dogs detected and responded to meaningless control phrases in DDS as frequently as to meaningful content in neutral reading prosody, but less often than to meaningful content in DDS. This suggests that, while DDS prosody facilitates the detection of meaningful content in human speech by capturing dogs’ attention, dogs are nevertheless capable of spontaneously recognizing meaningful phonemic content within an unexaggerated stream of speech.

Hi, mein Name ist Nyura. Ich bin ein Schäferhundmix. Ich habe die ersten 6 Monate meines Lebens auf einem verlassenen Gewerbegebiet am Stadtrand von Moskau verbracht. Dann haben mich Tierretter in ein Tierheim in Moskau gebracht. Dort wurde ich 2 Monate aufgepeppelt und geimpft, kastriert, gechippt. Dann hat sich jemand in Deutschland gefunden, der mich bei sich aufnimmt. Hier poste ich aus meinem neuen Leben in Hamburg.

Ich bin immer erstaunt, was ich von Hundehaltern alles lerne: Manche Besitzer lassen ihren #Hund zur Schurr betäuben, weil das Tier ist bissig, wenn es jemand anfasst. Schadet das den Tieren? Ist das mit dem Tierschutzrecht konform? Darf jedermann solche Sedation einsetzen oder braucht es dafür zumindest eine Sachkundeprüfung?

Schätzfrage: Was kostet eine Betäubung + Schurr für einen Hund?

NaturePerceived costs and benefits of companion dog keeping based on a convenience sample of dog owners - Scientific ReportsThe increasing trend of dog ownership is often linked to its perceived benefits for human physical and mental well-being. However, the psychological and practical demands of caring for a dog can significantly impact the owner’s quality of life and the long-term success of the dog-owner relationship. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of both the advantages and disadvantages of dog ownership, as perceived by a convenience sample of Hungarian dog owners (N = 246), who were assumed to be generally satisfied with their dogs. The study employed both quantitative (a Cost/Benefit scale consisting of 33 neutrally-phrased statements rated on a seven-point scale, from − 3 to + 3) and qualitative methods (two open-ended questions). Quantitative results showed that owners rated the short lifespan of dogs as the most negative aspect, while the belief that dogs brighten their lives was rated most positively. On average, positive statements were rated significantly higher (2.06) than negative ones (−0.66), supporting the prediction from social exchange theory that dog owners in a voluntary sample tend to perceive more advantages than disadvantages in dog ownership. Qualitative findings revealed six ‘benefit’ and three ‘cost’ themes. 61% of owners considered the meaningful relationship with their dog as the greatest benefit, frequently mentioning the dog’s constant presence, love, and support. Additionally, 15% highlighted the relationship with another species and the dog’s intrinsic qualities, indicating the biophilia effect of dog ownership. Regarding the costs, 95% of respondents identified financial, particularly health-related expenses, as the most significant drawback, and only 4–5% mentioned emotional or practical burdens. In the quantitative data, principal component analysis revealed three core components of the dog ownership experience: (1) emotional, physical, and social benefits, (2) negative emotions and practical challenges, and (3) time and emotional commitment. Overall, the results suggest clear costs and benefits, though some aspects, such as daily care, holiday arrangements, and training, were seen as both beneficial and disadvantageous, depending on the owner. Even within a convenience sample, the diversity in dog and owner characteristics was sufficient to explain why certain facets of dog ownership are experienced differently.
