We had to take one back because it was so heavily matted and dangerously obese, please take a good look because when we discovered that she was presenting dogs at exhibition in matted condition we made representations to her breed club who lied and lied, placing any animal in her care in danger http://www.versailles-kennels.co.uk/?p=p_60&sName=rescue- We had a dog returned to us last year by a now KC affix holder who swore she knew dogs and that she was ethical.

Making your pet fat and obese is abusive....end of! Its a selfish and vile thing to do to any animal, like mothers who rear their children on fast food and saturated fat, these people are applying their own indulgences onto their pet, thinking its good for them!!!! dogs will eat just about anything they can get their hands on and by enabling this instinct a person basically has ZERO understanidng of the canine mind......its sick, repulsive and an act that should be punishable by law. alice in LALA Land….appropriate name me thinks! seriously…..you’re coming from an incredibly naive, deluded…or lets just call it “IGNORANT” and plainly uneducated mind set.

But going in to a scientific explanation as to why that is the case would probably be wasted on you. So, instead, a tip: The nursery is --------------->>> that way, enjoy yourself.

Britian is in need of a culture change.. it certainly is. Doesn't Britian have anything else to worry about other than overweight dogs? You make it seem that every fat dog will die of being fat.. nothing could be further from the truth and to call it "abusive".. well just another stupid thought from a country that actually KILLS dogs "just because of the way they look" and I don't mean fat ones. Your guilt trip about fat dogs is ridiculous. Britian is well on its way to being the nanny country where NO ONE can feed their dog TOO MUCH or TOO little. and honestly.. how do YOU know the dog is not REALLY hunry .. By the way that Stillwell woman looks like she could use a good meal.. that is what anorexia looks like... Well one sentence was corrct in this ludicrious article..

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:57:55 +0000 http://www.dogmagazine.net/?p=3566#comment-53233 I recently found your site, and even ordered one of your t-shirts. Obesity in animals is one of my biggest pet peeves. You are so spot on in saying that it is our responsibility to care for our pets and feed them a healthy diet. Most vets won't tell a client their pet is overweight because they are afraid to loose that client. Well, if the animal dies from a weight related illness they lose that client anyway. I don't think for a second that your comments were harsh. Sometimes you have to be straight forward for people to "get it". Please keep up the great work!

Part of being a responsible dog owner is keeping your dog healthy, and that means keeping them at a healthy weight. As we learn more and more about the health risks of humans being overweight, many of those same diseases happen in our pets, as well. You are in control of your pet's health, so be a good pet owner!
