I was just sitting around, thinking about:

Fat ain't Phat. 

9/10/2015

 
No one likes criticism. However, as a doctor, I feel that I am required to deliver the services that my clients pay for even when it means being frank about a pet's weight.. Overweight pets, in spite of being a common issue, is not a trivial problem. A study done on littermates  shows that overweight dogs have a shorter life span. There's no doubt in my mind, that this shorter life is also plagued by chronic pain. There's no sugar coating it- diet, exercise and owner awareness is the prescription for keeping pets fit and trim.  The clinic's veterinary team can help target an ideal weight and develop a plan for pets and their owners for a  healthier, longer life together.  

This article points out the physiological condition of fat cells as building blocks .
