The PDSA has released a warning about the rising number of obese pets in Scotland. Of course, the rest of the U.K. and other countries have it too, but these are not as severe.
This isn't the first time an animal charity has raised this problem. The RSPCA has done so many an occasion.
The issue has been highlighted because, even though only three out of ten dogs are overweight, seven out of ten at their Scottish clinics are.
This is serious as the rotund animal in question generally will have a shorter lifespan than others of the same species.
The main cause is over-feeding. I'm not sure about a lot of pet foods, but they usually have guidelines for how much you should feed your loving creature. If everyone tries to follow these, and makes sure that plenty of exercise is given, everyone will be happy.
Please comment.
Thank you.
