Can the police use the threat of shooting your dogs to get consent to search your home?

I'm not sure I understand the question. The police are prohibited from making warrantless, non consenual searches. If you consent to let the police search your home, why would they want to shoot your dogs? Why wouldn't you restrain your dogs if you were allowing the police to search? If the police have a warrant to search the premises, they are absolutely authorized to destroy the dogs during the execution of the warrant, if necessary.


When armed with search warrant why is it important to also ask for consent prior to serving said warrant?

The question is framed INCORRECTLY. It is only necessary to ask for consent to search if the officers do NOT have a search warrant. In that instance, asking such permission would constitute a legal search and any illegal items they might find would be legally admissible in court. When they are armed WITH a search warrant, unless the officers simply feel like being polite (which we hope they always are) it is NOT required or necessary to ask permission of anyone to conduct the search.
