I think I may now have really seen everything. Coming to a pet store near you, prepackaged weight loss programs for your pet. Yes, you too can pay twice as much money for half as much food!
Am I the only one who finds this just a bit, well, ridiculous? OK, not to be insensitive to the blight of the overweight pet, but seriously, does every living thing in the household need to be on some prepackaged weight program? How hard is it to measure out your dog’s food? It’s not like he’s making nachos when you’re not home.
What’s next, weight loss camps where you send your dog to learn to be fit? Lipo for Lassie?
Who knows how well this will sell. But I find it sad that pet food companies think we’re incapable of measuring and restricting our pets’ food on our own. What will be even worse is if they are right and it does sell well.
However the biggest tragedy is that we’re passing on obesity. Not just to our human families, but even to our pets.
What do you think?
