🐻🏆 It’s Fat Bear Week! 🏆🐻
Have you heard of Fat Bear Week? It’s an annual celebration of the brown bears of Alaska’s Katmai National Park as they prepare for winter hibernation. Throughout the summer, these bears spend their days fishing for salmon and building up the fat reserves they’ll need to survive the long winter months. Visitors and fans from around the world even get to vote for their favorite “fat bear” in a fun tournament! 🐻🐟
Of course, our pets don’t need to pack on pounds for hibernation, but Fat Bear Week gives us a fun opportunity to talk about healthy weight in our dogs and cats. Maintaining a healthy body condition can help support mobility, joint health, energy, and overall quality of life.
Not sure if your pet is at a healthy weight? Ask us at Pineview Clinic! Call us at 301-334-8393 for appointments. We’re happy to help you keep your furry family members happy, healthy, and active. 🐾
