We feed them, we nurture them, and we dedicate a large part of our lives ensuring that they are healthy and developing as they should be. Even when they’re naughty and break things around the house, we still love them unconditionally. And when they hurt, we hurt. We do everything that we can to avoid pain for them, because we love them. If you’ve guessed by now that I’m speaking about your children, you’re on the right path! Today, we’re talking about your 4-legged family members. Your cats and dogs.
These are our babies, which never grow up. They are a part of our family, but unable to speak and verbalize their needs, or when they are in pain. That is why it is SO important that we do our best to keep them as healthy as possible, so that they may lead long and healthy lives! Did you know that over 50% of pets in the U.S. are overweight? This is disturbing due to the fact that 5 extra pounds on a dog is equivalent to an extra 30 pounds on a human! As you can imagine, this extra weight can lead to serious health issues just like it can with adults. Dog and cat weight loss is possible!
Tobey’s getting old, but we want him healthy so he’ll be with us as long as possible!

It’s disturbing to read that 50% of pets are overweight! I’m glad that you are taking good care of your fur baby 🙂

Look at that sweet furry face! I agree, our pets are part of our families. They are our fur babies so we are going to treat them as such and we want nothing but the best for our family, which means getting them on a good and healthy food and helping them manage their weight. I can’t believe that statistic!
Jenn @ The Rebel Chick says
Of course you want Tobey to live the longest life possible. We love our pets!

There are many pet owners who think that the fatter their pets are the better. I was once guilty of this. I mean, when I see a fat dog or cat, I immediately jump into conclusion that the pet owner is really doing his or her job. But I discovered that this is really not the case. Overweight or obese pets are in dire situation. Just like people, they are in greater risk of developing many diseases. Thanks for this post. This will help people realize that fat is not always the right choice.

We have to ration our cat’s food. She had knee surgery and has to stay at a certain weight or things get bad!
Liz Mays says
That’s great that in 10 weeks it can make that much of a difference and turn things around. You need your Toby for a long time!
Adrienne says
That’s not surprising that 50% of pets in the US are overweight given the fact that obesity is a huge (pun intended) problem for most people in the US. Thanks for sharing!

I completely agree on wanting to keep Davinia and Indiana around as long as possible and will do whatever I need to do in order to ensure they are getting the nutrition they need to stay healthy.
Thank you for sharing about this new food and the 10 week challenge. Hopefully there will be a shift in the epidemic and more dogs and cats will be able to achieve their perfect weight.
