Secret #37- pass the leftovers, please

My comments on Reader's Digest article "50 Secrets Your Vet Won't Tell You"

"Giving food is not giving love. Obesity will hurt their health and decrease their lifespan. Instead, give affection. Pet them, brush them, love them, and walk them."

This really goes back the the issues with obesity. We use food as social interactions with each other, and we want to include our pets in this as well. Giving a bit of extra food now and then is not an issue in itself- but overfeeding is. Watch the waistline!

I have older blogs on obesity if you are looking for a bit more info- or call your vet!

Enjoy your pets!
