While the facts presented by the author in the Sept. 16 article “Pudgy pets reflect fat trend” are indeed correct, he has left out the No. 1 reason our pets are overweight. According to veterinarians, the No. 1 reason is we feed our dogs table food. Who hasn’t looked down at those big browns staring up at us and thought, what will just one bite hurt? It establishes a love for “people food” not the healthy balanced diet of dog food. So if you really love your dog, give him a dog treat, not a bite from your plate.
