February 20, 2009Weight Gain – It All Adds Up
February 19, 2009According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention over 44% of dogs a estimated to be overweight or obese. Does this really surprise anybody. First it’s widely known that about 50% of the people population is overweight. So it would make sense that if people consider their dogs part of the family that they too would be packing on the pounds. Second, it’s winter. It’s more difficult to get out there and go for that long walk or play outside. It’s cold out there! It’s harder to get around in all that snow.
We all know that added weight – whether you’re a dog or a person – is a leading cause of preventable disease like arthritis and diabetes (being the most well known). So now that winter is on it’s way out we can start psyching ourselves up to get out and get moving. The good thing about dogs is that they don’t think of it as exercise, they think they’re having fun.
