There are no square pets - Pet Obesity

According to the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP): An Estimated 58% of Cats and 54% of Dogs in the United States are Overweight or Obese. 

Is your pet overweight or obese? When you feel your dog's ribs, they should feel like the back of your hand. Layer of skin, thin layer of muscle, and then ribs you can easily feel. If you feel a little extra pudge, or your dog's waistline is not tucked in, your pooch is overweight. 

APOP also provides this though provoking info: 

"Did you realize a 12 pound Yorkie is the same as an average female weighing 218 pounds and a 14 pound cat is equivalent to a 237 pound man? Did you consider that a 90 pound female Labrador retriever is equal to a 186 pound 5’ 4” female or 217 pound 5’ 9” male or a fluffy feline that weighs 15 pounds (DSH) is equal to a 218 pound 5’ 4” female or 254 pound 5’ 9” male?"
