I’m not calling your dog anything; but apparently 25-40 percent of American Dogs are overweight.  That’s an estimated 17 million furry little buggers!!  (article on getting fit with your dog on Web Vet)

I’ve really been liking Web Vet’s articles lately and this one struck a particular cord for me.  I am a firm believer that dogs should not be overfed or overweight.  Staying fit and healthy will help them to live longer and more rewarding lives, and it especially bugs me when dog owners overfeed their four-leggers out of guilt…

This article is a quick read and gives some good tips/motivation to get out and exercise with your dog - cuz dog obesity isn’t the only thing at an all time high.
