Pet Obesity

The RPSCA has teamed up with the maker of ‘Simon’s Cat’ and created a video called ‘Fed up’. This video illustrates food-begging behavior that is typical to dogs and the issue of pet obesity. Though this animation has a light side to it, it still carries a very serious message.

Pet obesity is a growing concern, and RSPCA wants to raise awareness and get people to start thinking and talking about this issue. Especially during Christmas, is giving your pets treats under the dining table a nice or cruel thing to do? Do we actually know when our pets are overweight? And what do we do to combat this problem?

  2. To answer the last 2 questions.
    I think we can tell if our Dog is overweight. They just look it. And for me the simple solution is just to reduce food for the Dog. It may be hard if you love giving your Dog treats but you have to think of the Dogs future and health.

    Obesity is really an epidemic these days. People have become very lazy and does not want to exercise anymore. I do a lot of jogging and brisk walking everyday just to be fit and healthy.
