Dogs and cats are individuals with different tolerances to ingredients in commercial food. We are literally shortening the lives of some pets because dry food is easier to use. If your dog or cat is overweight, has dry skin or itchy skin, or chronic ear problems…consider changing them to a lower calorie food, limit their food, feed canned food(less calories per ounce), home cook them lower calorie food, or dilute the dry food calories with water or green beans. I have found that feeding or adding raw or home cooked food to any dog or cats diet makes them look and feel healthier!

Obesity in pets should not be ignored. Even pets should be taken care of. This is really a nice post for those whose pets are suffering from obesity. Hope people take it seriously and start paying attention to their pets.
Sandra,
I agree…we are shortening their lives without realizing it!
