Choosing the “right” food for your pet can feel overwhelming. With so many claims on pet food labels, it’s not always easy to know what to look for.

The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention has a interactive guide to understanding pet food labels:

On National Pet Obesity Awareness Day, let’s talk about helping our pets live healthier, happier lives.

Weight loss can be tough for anyone—two- or four-legged! But helping your pet reach a healthy weight can support a longer, more comfortable life. A few small changes can make a real difference:

• Measure meals. Ask us to help set a daily calorie goal, or use the Pet Nutrition Alliance calorie calculator as a starting point. Every pet is different, so check with us before making changes to their diet.

• Keep treats in check. Treats and table scraps count toward daily calories. Try smaller portions, lower-calorie options, or breaking treats into smaller pieces.

• Make movement fun. Walks are great when they suit your pet, but toys, food puzzles, and training can also encourage activity. Start at a pace that’s comfortable for your pet.

A healthy weight can help lower the risk of problems such as diabetes and arthritis, and may reduce the risk of some other health conditions. We can help you choose a safe, realistic weight-loss plan.

Happy National Black Dog Day!

Black dogs are often overlooked, spending longer time in shelters, because of unconscious biases, negative stereotypes, and the fact that their facial features can be harder to see in photos.

Help us spread the word: black dogs are loving, loyal, and ready to find their fur-ever homes!
