So one of my pet peeves is fat dogs.
It's a shame to me that people allow their dogs to get overweight and out of condition, as it shortens their lifespan and quality of life. Often when I tell them their dog needs to lose weight, they say "Well my vet said he's fine." I don't know what to tell ya, your vet is wrong. Your dog is fat and out of shape. Or they say "But he's solid!" Uhh... solid fat? People also tell me my Belgian Malinois look thin, even when they need to drop 5 pounds.
Pitties are even better to show this because of their short hair the muscle tone shows in some dogs.
So I would appreciate if anyone can give me photos of well-conditioned very lean dogs that I can share with clients, I need permission from you to post the photo on our FB page as well as on our website for a blog article about obesity and pets. Thanks!
