Pet Treats: Friend or Foe?
Most medical professionals (both human and pet) will tell you “everything in moderation” or “eat a healthy, balanced diet”.
Yet the CDC reports 68{cc651acb8fd21d18461bab90e3951e117ad976e0f5f2bec6fa2ec763fee94208} of Americans are overweight or obese. Sounds like many Americans aren’t listening too well.
Our pet population seems to have the same problem. 52.7{cc651acb8fd21d18461bab90e3951e117ad976e0f5f2bec6fa2ec763fee94208} of dogs and 57.9{cc651acb8fd21d18461bab90e3951e117ad976e0f5f2bec6fa2ec763fee94208} of cats are overweight or obese.
Hmm, think there is a connection?!?
Do Some Homework
- Do you know what a healthy weight is for your pet?
- How many calories should she consume each day?
- How can you tell if your pet is overweight?
