well, she may just happy being overweight herself, in which case it is
probably irrelevant to her if her dog is overweight...........different
strokes.....

Speaking of vets, good, bad and ignorant................
There is an employee at a pet store who brings her GSD to work. This girl
is obese, so is her dog, LOL! The dog is also not trained and territorial
and should not be in that store at all, especially off lead. That is
another story. Anyway, I made the big mistake of mentioning that she could
use
a diet. I was tactful, I thought. But, the owner got all offended. She
told me that her dog was a BIG girl and not fat. She also said her vet
didn't think she was overweight either. Then she told me what she was
feeding her. While both foods are quality foods, combining them is overkill
and
overweight for this dog. She again said her vet told her the dog was not
overweight. This dog has no waist and fat rolls over her shoulders and
neck. How is that not overweight? When I mentioned that most vets get
minimal
nutrition classes in vet school and depend on dog food manufacturers to
tell them what to sell in their clinics, like Science Diet, she sort of
agreed.
Now, I know we like our dogs lean, but obese is obese. How does a vet not
see obese? Vets, vet techs out there, what do you think?
