Two major problems develop when your pet eats something it shouldn't. The first problem your pet gets from dietary indiscretion is an immediate increase of weight. The latest statistics clearly indicate that more than 60 percent of all Americans are overweight. Putting your pet on a diet should be a simple task, but it isn't.
Most pet owners have a captive audience when it comes to feeding their pet.
Usually a pet can eat only what its master feeds it. By far the most important part of a successful weight-reduction program is that every member of the family is certain of the necessity of the weight reduction. Your total commitment to achieving the weight loss is necessary, otherwise the effort may result in frustration, wasted time, energy and resources. It's essential that everyone agree to reach the agreed-upon goal. Divide the total amount fed per day into as many as three or four meals.
