Podgy Pet Problem

According to recent figures from Halifax Pet Insurance…

More than One Third of Britain’s cats and dogs are overweight.

8 out of 10 vets now run special fat clubs to teach owners how to get their 4-legged friends into shape.

Experts warn that podgy pets are likely to have their lives cut short by problems such as diabetes and heart disease.

I know it’s very easy to spoil your pet; some treats to reward are good, but please don’t overfeed them. You may be reducing the wonderful time you have with them.
