Fat Cats and Dogs need better diets .
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Overweight Americans and Europeans are overfeeding their pets, too — and putting their health at risk, according to a report issued on Monday.
The report, from the National Research Council, finds that one-quarter of the dogs and cats in the western world are obese. As with humans, this puts them at risk of diabetes, heart disease and other health problems.
The 400-page report is aimed at scientists, pet food makers and veterinarians, but provides advice for pet owners.
Purina, and the like, better be forwarned. It’s not as if they can count on the personal responsibility of pet owners, eh?
They best watch their backs and cover their ass - - I smell a lawsuit brewing!
