When people leave their pets locked in a tiny NYC apartment for 12 hours a day, of course they’re going to get fat.

Maybe pet owners should skip feeding Fido or Fluffy a meal and send the money to Obama’s campaign. /s

Fighting pet obesity is something Moochelle missed. She better get with the program.

They don’t normally tell you how many calories are in those doggie treats. Probably a lot.

From my every day experience, I cannot tell my cats what to eat and what not to eat. They tell ME what they want!!!!!...or else!!!!

I also love dogs. I tried to introduce one into our kitty family. The cats had a conference amongst themselves. They then approached me and announced that their suitcases were packed and ready to leave if I were to bring a dog into the/their home.

They won.

There should be laws that regulate what food and medicine can be given to pets. If an immigrant family moves in next door and your pets disappear, you may wind up getting sued for contaminating your neighbors food source. And it might be courteous to make sure the pet food gives the pets a good flavor.

Here’s the plan: if you don’t get your well-marbled pets in shape, Obama will eat them.

As long as people, for some unimaginable reason, think obese cats and dogs are funny, they will continue to overfeed them so they can post pics of their fat pets online.

For dogs it really isn’t all that hard to get the weight down; just start severely restricting the food and switch to a diet heavy in green beans. Dog will lose the weight while staying healthy.

I’m fortunate in having a self-regulating, grazing Beagle, which is a rarity. She fluxuates between 26 and 29 pounds and maintains a good waist with me just filling her bowl when it’s empty. Then again I found a good food that she doesn’t like (Wellness) and only eats when she’s really hungry.

We have neighbors who have a beagle that’s about the same bone size hat tops 55 lbs. Which is really disgusting to look at and qualifies as animal abuse IMHO. Smart a$$ cracks by me about them being Frodo and Samwise the Beagles whenever they’re outside playing (ok, my Beagle playing, their’s just sitting there like a primadona) just get me dirty looks at this point.

It’s easy to keep a pet lean.. Feed the correct proportions and long walks.. No beer even if they beg.

I adopted a dog. My vet told me the dog was over weight. My vet was astonished on our next visit when the dog had lost weight. My vet indicated it was darn near a miracle I took his advice and my dog actually lost weight. His reaction was priceless.

When I lived in Tonga, where dogs are eaten, I was warned to be very careful because the “Palangi” dogs tended to go missing since they were well fed and fat.

I’m a big meanie though. I mostly only use treats while puppy training, and on a rare occasion feed some table scraps. A vet once told me any table scraps were fine except bread products. Puppy dog eyes don’t work on me when I eating. My dog knows the 5 second rule- if food drops and I don’t say something in 5 seconds, it’s his. LOL. Alternatively, theres watching mom cook and waiting to be called to clean up the floor.
