Over feeding your pets

One of the many problems that owners of pets face is over feeding their animals. Often an owner will want to reward good behaviour of their pet with a treat which over several years can lead to their pet becoming over weight. It is estimated that approximately 40% of all dogs are either overweight or obese. Animals become overweight for pretty much the same reason that people do, due to over eating and not exercising enough. A lot of owners will give their dog the pet food that they are required but often the dog will receive scraps and left-over’s from the owners dinner, adding additional, unnecessary calories to the animals diet. To counter these extra calories the animal will require additional exercise or for owners to watch how much scraps they are feeding their pets.

One way of expressing your personality is through your pet, the type of pet you have says a lots about the owner. If you own a goldfish, like I do, then it tells people that you don’t have much spare time but that you still want to own a pet. As someone who works full time and is often away at weekends, my goldfish is the perfect pet as it allows me to simply feed it once a day and clean it out once a week, it’s the working persons pet. If you have more time the you might choose a dog as they need a long walk at least twice a day and three meals plus regular toilet trips, this is the ideal pet for someone who is off work, either retired or on leave with their children. Dogs however are becoming more popular with working people as there has been a rise in the number of dog walkers available who can look after your dog whilst you are at work. The cat is the perfect middle ground as they are quite independent as you can fit a cat flap for them but they also require regular meals.
