"The reaon your pet is fat is beacuse you are, too. I would never say that to someone in an exam room, but the fact of that matter is, if you have an owner who overeats and is inactive, they are very likely to have an obese pet."
*see previous path-vet blog notes on obesity and weight loss*
There is a propblem with obesity in our pets just as there is in our people. It boils down to the same thing on either side- too many calories in, too few calories out. Do fat people have fat pets? Maybe. But I see thin people with fat pets, and fat people with thin pets.
Discussing the lifestyle choices we make for our pets is reasonable. Insulting their people is not. (Not implying that this vet ever does actually insult the owners, at least not to their faces.)
Enjoy your pets!
