I'm glad there is a pets obesity awareness day.
I hate to see overweight dogs and cats. They are basically only living half a life no matter how kind their people are to them. How can a fat dog run in the woods and have fun? And fat cats -all they can do is lie around all day.
I think that sometimes, not only do people equate lots of food with "love", but they get a "blind spot" and can't see their animals as if there is anything amiss. If they get used to seeing them that way every day they don't see anything wrong!
Many a time I've heard it said, "Oh she/he is chunky. He was always that way. That's his build."
Obesity is a cause of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer among other things.
