Healthy pet living the next thing?

PET owners could be shortening the lives of their pets by failing to notice the life-threatening risks of obesity.
According to a Pet Food Manufacturers Association report nearly 50% of pets visiting vets are overweight, even though keeping pets in the ideal weight range could add as much as two years to their life.
