🐾 National Pet Obesity Awareness Day – October 14th 🐾

Did you know that even a few extra pounds can have a big impact on your pet’s health? Overweight pets are more likely to develop joint disease, diabetes, heart problems, and other weight-related health concerns.

The good news? Small lifestyle changes can make a big difference! ❤️ Regular exercise, appropriate portions, healthy treats, and routine weight checks can all help keep your pet at a healthy weight.

Take a moment to look at your pet’s Body Condition Score and talk with your veterinarian about what an ideal weight looks like for your furry family member.

🐶🐱 A healthy weight means a healthier, happier life!
