Bartok Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I hav 4 x dogs 2 x normal weight and 2 that are overweight Just before Christmas I filmed with them for a TV show on obese dogs in Australia and why dogs in Australia are overweight Being an owner of overweight dogs and being overweight myself. I don't think people should be dragged through the mud and treated like they are bad owners because of this. Maybe they should be educated. None of us know circumstances and lifestyles of people Most overweight dogs are overweight because their owners "love" them, but like me I have been loving them in the wrong way. I have a fat Rottie and a Fat Lab Besides being overweight they are in good health They are now closely monitored and my Lab who was weighed last friday has lost 2kg Do I think I am a bad dog owner? No I don't I love my animals and will do anything for them I just don't look at their sad deer eyes anymore Just my thoughts is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemymutts Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Spots look different, I don't think it's the same dog, which means there's another , which hopefully is getting treated also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much more education owners who overfeed their dogs need. Because they love them, don't they and you realise that by doing this the dogs are literally being killed with what is wrongly called kindness. There is absolutely nothing kind about it.
