It’s tough to say no to the sad eyes, the licking, and the begging, but for our pets’ sake, it’s best to never overfeed them. Much like us, obesity in animals can cause several health issues. And because we want them to be with us for a very, very long time, we should keep them healthy and in shape.
Besides, we wouldn’t want our furbaby to look like Aunt Figg’s evil pet dog, Ferdinand. Tom and Jerry, anyone?
Lucky for this guy, he bounced back into shape. Doesn’t he look better after the weight loss?
