Synopsis
America's obesity problem isn't just a people problem - a recent survey indicated that 40% of America's pet population is overweight. And, just as in humans, obesity puts a dog at risk for serious illnesses such as arthritis and various skin diseases. Help your pooch slim down with the ten simple steps in My Fat Dog , including: - the truth behind diet dog foods - exercises tailored or different dog personalities - advice on teaching older dogs new tricks, fitness games, and healthy eating habits Featuring real-life dog weight loss stories, tests to rule out serious health problems, tips from top veterinarians, and a special section on multi-pet households, My Fat Dog offers creative and entertaining ideas to help your pet lose weight and live healthy., The epidemic obesity problem in America isn't just limited to people. As humans continue to chow down on fast food, fatty treats and sugary desserts our pets are expanding right along with us. Of course its hard to ignore those big eyes our pets give us when they beg for food, but we have to be firm -- because their health depends on it. Studies have shown that obese dogs are at risk for joint and skin problems. To keep our pets happy and healthy for a long time, we need to control their weight. Helping your pet slim down isn't all that difficult -- and author Martha Garvey will show you how. MY FAT DOG (Ten Simple Steps to Help Your Pet Lose Weight For a Long and Happy Life) by Martha Garvey deals directly with our pets' weight problem from causes to cure. More than a dog diet book, readers will learn the facts (and myths) about animal obesity and discover real solutions to insure our pets' heath and longevity.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
