dallasvoice.comChoosing the right diet for your fur baby is essential Happy New Year! We are officially living in the year 2024; isn’t that crazy?
I am sure some of us have been working on our resolutions for this new year, and I believe it would not be surprising if one of the most popular resolutions for many of us may be about weight loss or incorporating new workout plans.
You may not know this, but pet obesity is one of the most common health issues we find with pets, so I am going to challenge everyone to include our pets in these weight management plans for 2024.
Being overweight is known to predispose our cats and dogs to diseases like diabetes. It can negatively affect their quality of life as they mature (especially when arthritis occurs due to the extra weight on those joints), and it can also shorten their life spans.
