More overweight pet news

Michael's picture

Another news story about America's pet obesity epidemic. Why report it? Because I've noticed that people who eat unhealthy diets or are mostly sedentary have overweight pets -- after all, the pet probably isn't getting much activity or the right kind of foods, either. So America's pet population probably mirrors the human population.

That, and the fact that many processed pet food products are loaded with grains and other nasty fillers. Does that impact pets the same way as humans? Dogs and cats are evolved to be carnivores, after all.

According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, more than half of American pets are overweight or obese.
