  • maybe our own sedentary lifestyles also affecting the obesity of our pets, if we are living in some small place maybe our pets have no place to run or do things that can make them like exercising

  • That is an excellent point. Walking the dog is good for dog and dog owner alike.

  • I think obesity is exclusively caused by carbs being taken by our pets

  • You are correct in respect to feedin gthe WRONG kinds of carbs, like sinple carbs and enriched grains. However, dogs need, and cats seem to do better, with fibrous carb sources like vegetables. Heavy saturated fats are also not good in consideration of goow eight control.

  • Good advice, your vet can assess the level of obesity and prescribe a weightloss program appropriate for you pet.
