National Nutrition Month for Pets
Its National Nutrition Month and what a great opportunity to discuss pets, nutrition and healthy weight. Earlier this month I joined Royal Canin Canada at the Ontario Veterinary Technician conference in Toronto where the topic of discussion was pet nutrition; knowing the signs of obesity in pets; obtaining and maintaining healthy weight in pets. As a pet owner attending the conference, it gave me the opportunity to tackle the subject...
A Cats Journey to Healthiness – This Cat Can Do!
Earlier this year I was at the CP24 Animal House Calls studios with Pet Obesity Specialist Dr. Alex German and Royal Canin Canada where the discussion was pet obesity, the adverse side effects and what the long term benefits of a pet losing weight are. While waiting back stage I had the opportunity to meet Candyce the cat. Candyce had been at the Toronto Humane Society and was already somewhat overweight when she was adopted out....
A Pug at the OVMA 2015
Not all dogs like going to their veterinarian’s office. The thought of having a check up, being weighed, getting needles, having our temperature taken, being poked and prodded is not what most dogs would put at the top of their list of fun things to do. So can you only imagine what it was like being the only dog at the Ontario Veterinarian Medical Convention filled with nothing but veterinarians! What was my humom doing to me?...
Lights, Camera, Action and Pug Weight Loss
Lights, Camera, Action Pug Weight Loss I have woofed about the need to loose my extra pug weight, my struggles along the way, and the victory I have achieved. Recently my humom/typist and I had the opportunity to meet up on set with Royal Canin Canada to discuss on camera what I call my “weight loss journey”. It was a day of lights, cameras, sound checks and yes, even make up! Those of you who know me, know...
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 –...

Wet Food -Delicious and Good for You!
Ever since I was a wee pug puppy I have eaten dry food. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining because I like it (very much). Recently, I was introduced to something other than my usual Royal Canin Satiety Support dry. It still has the same name; Satiety Support, but it comes in a can! What? Food, in a can? I wasn’t sure about this. That was until my humom opened this can and my pug nose caught a whiff of that...
My Journey – A Pug’s Story to Healthy Weight Loss
My Journey A Pug’s Story to Healthy Weight Loss I love food. It loves me. There, I’ve said it. My name is Miss Edie the Pug and I love food! Maybe a bit too much 😉 This is the story of my journey and struggles to achieve and maintain a healthy pug weight. I honestly don’t see the issue? I’m hungry, I eat – period. According to my humom and my vet, it is an issue. As a pug puppy my weight was monitored...
My Visit with Royal Canin Canada – As told by Edie The Pug
My Visit with Royal Canin Canada Part 1 – Edie’s View I had the honour of visiting Royal Canin Canada or as I like to call them #MyFineFoodFriends. Since I was a pup I have eaten Royal Canin food. Sometimes I ate a little more than I should have causing me to gain a pound or two, but after a discussion with my Vet it was suggested I switched to Royal Canin’s Satiety Support, with this change and added...
Dog Nutrition and Feeding – The Overwhelming Selections
Dog Nutrition and Feeding The Overwhelming Selections We all want what’s best for our dogs. That I’m sure, at least I hope, is the one thing dog parents can agree on. In my opinion, one of the most important things we can do for our dogs is to ensure they are eating a heathy, well balanced diet specific to them and their individual needs. But saying that, just taking a walk down the pet food isle can be an overwhelming...
