Obesity: With Weight Loss Tips

by Arden Moore, Buck Jones (Illustrations)

Making light of a difficult topic, Obesity discusses an issue that too many dog owners refuse to acknowledge, or even see. Because excessive weight on a dog’s body can shorten his life, obesity is an issue that all owners must face, and author Arden Moore presents it with sensitivity, intelligence, and humor, launching into the book with an opening chapter called “Facing the Fat Facts. As all Simple Solutions books do, Obesity offers many remedies for the problem at hand, including fixing diets, making mealtime fun (without refilling the bowl), exercise regimens, play sessions, daily walks and more.

Nicely done.

I thought it would be cartoons about obese dogs. But it was a good read and enjoyed learning some new techniques to helping slim down my canine.

Cute book about overweight dogs. And how to get them back into shape by giving them portions of their food as treats throughout the day, taking them walking, having them checked out by their vet prior to starting a healthy program, and cutting out the table scraps and the treats!
