It is tough. We know
it is tough. Here is the scenario: You have just finished off your steak dinner
and with a tummy full of happiness you spot your fur-baby there, in the corner,
with those big sappy eyes full of love and longing. “Ag, it’s just a piece of
steak” as you paw a little bit off for them to nibble on. The next morning it
is a pouch of soft food and perhaps just a little bit of your toast. Lunch time
they get a few small snacks and again, a little extra nibble from your toastie. This goes on as habits do and the next thing you know is that your Labrador has turned into an overweight, flabby Labra-bore
tank. Yes, yes: We know he looks happy but Owners need to understand the
dangers of your pet being overweight. It affects them in much the same way it affects
us.
During the month of October Hills is running an Obesity Awareness
Campaign and, with the involvement of many veterinarian practices, they are
offering free weight in’s. Hills will assist you with tracking and improving your
pets body fat percentage with the tips and tools available on their website.
