Shitty owners let their dog get obese

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ya, like I get maybe spoiling your pets a little bit but fuck me not like this. My male cat used to be 16 pounds, and after a food restricted diet, he lost 6 pounds over the course of several years. He looks so dam handsome and healthy now.

It was a big challenge to get him to lose weight because our other cat started losing a lot of weight and started to get malnourished because she couldn't keep the food down but with proper vet visits she is healthy again too.

I say all of that to show that if my lazy dumb ass can get my pets happy and healthy, then other people can too.

It's really not difficult with dogs. Feed them less and exercise them more, especially in water if they're super fat. They will whine and moan and complain that you're "starving them" but it will work, and they'll lose the weight.

I kinda wish someone could force me to lose weight like that honestly.
