New dog food reduces doggy obesity

As many of us become heavier in the waist area, are those lovable dogs at home becoming the same way? Those who feed their dogs table scraps (which is a no-no) filled with processed food and other nastiness probably have fat pets. Low and behold, there is a new diet drug that claims to help pets lose weight.

As ridiculous as that sounds, the same adage goes for dogs as for humans: there is no substitute for a good walk (exercise) and good food. Dogs are mammals too, and the same health maladies related to weight can happen to them just like us.

Having a dog and following the "walk every night" rule is a good one 00 it exercises both the pet owner and the animal. Why anyone would need something like Slentrol to help their plump pooches lose weight is beyond me. Just like kids, having a pet is a responsibility, and if there is lack of time to pay attention to your dog (like walking with him or her) or giving that pt dog a bunch of junk food, should you really own one?
