YES, and here is why:

In response to a request for video showing a blocked Dalmatian struggling to urinate, Joy responded:
 
I have three videos, unfortunately, they cannot be shared because they are in my mind and play over and over again.  Let me see if I can describe them to you...I see my sweet boy Sam, whining and bowing and trying over and over again to urinate.  I then see him in the vet's office after having had an emergency urethrostomy, with a long bloody incision, but he lifts his head when he sees me and wags his tail and tries to get up to come home.  And finally, I see him dead on the floor of the vet specialist's office, euthanized before he was 9 years old, due to development of dilated cardiomyopathy, the result of a restricted protein diet his entire life.  It is as real to me today as it was when it happened.

To those who say that the incidence of blockage is a low percentage, I can only answer that if it happens to you, the incidence is 100%.  Some of you might be interested in the cost of all Sam's treatments, special diet, and medication over his lifetime.   I pulled all my receipts after he died, and it cost close to $6000 total (that includes the cost of the euthanization).  The love he gave me...well, it was beyond price, but then so was the anguish and grief when he was gone.

I would not want to see one more dog or person go through this.
