When even your dog needs a diet pill.... It's gone too far!!!

OK folks, this is something I just have to comment on. It was bad enough when we found out that Americans spend more each year trying to loose weight than most countries do on eating. OK, that may not be totally accurate. But, I bet it's not far off.

Well, all bets are off now. When even your dogs need personal trainers and even diet pills, it is just too much. Do we really not understand that we eat too much and exercise way too little??? Talk about waste! If you and your dog are eating so much that you can not burn off the calories, the answer should be simple. Eat less!!! Eat more natural foods!! And get some exercise!!!

Your dog knows it needs to exercise. Just let it! If you can not let your dog exercise because of your lifestyle, maybe you should consider changing your lifestyle or not get a dog. It's just wrong. Now, I am not trying to belittle any individual people or individual dogs. But we should learn from the mistakes of the past. We should learn that not ever habit we have developed in our glorious modern era is good for us. It's OK to walk a couple blocks. We don't need to drive 3 blocks to Starbucks with the dog in the back seat. WALK!!!!

These doggy diet pills should not exist. It is just not in harmony with nature.

I agree with you completely. However, more than 50% of North American people are over weight. How can you blame the canine? Do you see any obese dog in under develop country?

I don't blame the canine. I blame the owner. A dog would never be fat unless it was taught to be that way by a human. That's the whole point. It's the poor dog that suffers. When a population is so lazy and fat that even their dogs become that way, it's just not funny anymore.... well, OK... It's a little funny... thanks for the comments.
