We received this nifty infographic that helps remind all of us that treats and anything "extra" like table scraps all count toward your pet's daily caloric allotment.
Of course that sounds obvious, but if 55 percent of U.S. dogs and cats are overweight then I'd say someone is being overfed and under exercised! It's kind of like saying that food eaten by humans standing up doesn't count. EVERYTHING counts, so make sure to help keep your pet healthy by measuring their food and counting in treats and snacks too.
Our FitDog Friday co-host SlimDoggy has a neat app that can help you keep track. Check it out here after you wander through the infographic and then, head on over to see all our other pals participating in FitDog Friday!
The "Overweight Pets" visualization was created and shared by PetSafe.
The fun and games continue every Friday with FitDog Friday, the weekly Blog Hop brought to you by To Dog With Love, SlimDoggy and Peggy's Pet Place to promote a healthy active lifestyle for pets (and their people, too!) and to help combat pet obesity. Join in every Friday by linking up your FitDog story or visiting the blogs in the Hop.
