Always remember not to over feed your pet! Pet obesity can have serious consequences on their health.

Being overweight increases your pet's:

• Risk for diabetes
• Risk for heart disease
• Risk for joint problems
• Risk for complications from anesthesia
• Risk of losing life expectancy by one to two years

Feeding your pet the right kind and amount of appropriate pet food from the first day he or she joins your family will help to prevent these serious health problems.

The Importance of Feeding Your Pet a Healthy Diet
