When You’re Told “Your Pet is Obese”
A Pug’s Weight Loss Journey This is my view and perspective of a pet parent who’s been told their pet is obese. When You’re Told “Your Pet is Obese” When I was told my pug Edie needed to lose weight I did not disagree. I mean, it was obvious she was heavier than she should be. If looking at her wasn’t an indication my dog was obese, all we had to do was place her on a scale to know the truth –...

I wouldn’t put it passed Edie! Originally our Vet thought after the first full week of complete rest, Edie could resume very short walks, but I started to...
