The Scales Don’t Lie – Weight Loss Management in Pets

The Scales Don’t Lie  Weight Loss Management in Pets I had the privileged of attending a Weight Management Symposium with Royal Canin Canada and meeting Dr. Alex German and Dr. Ernie Ward, both experts in the field of pet obesity. Some may consider pet nutrition, pet weight loss and pet weight management a boring topic but I find it fascinating. Why? Until 2 years ago pet nutrition, weight loss and weight management, was a topic...

Before – During – After, A Pug’s Weight Loss Journey Continues

Before – During – After A Pug’s Weight Loss Journey Continues It’s no secret Edie has been on a weight loss journey. I have been quite open about it, the struggles along the way, as well as the success she has achieved. Some pet parents may be in denial about their pet needing to loose weight, even making excuses, and some truly not seeing their pet as over weight. We can come up with all sorts’ reasons...

Itchy Pet – See Your Vet

Finally! The snow has melted and we can put away those heavy coats, sweaters and boots, no more ploughing through belly high snow to find a potty spot. Spring is here and that calls for longer walks, going to the park, laying in the sun and rolling in the grass! Unfortunately this time of year brings more than birds, bees, flowers and long days lounging on our garden chairs.  For some it’s a time for licking, scratching and...

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?...

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...

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...
