Pet obesity affects about 45% of our pet population. It can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and some forms of abdominal cancer. According to one long term study on Labrador Retrievers by Purina, thin dogs on average live two years longer than obese dogs. Please visit the links below if you suspect your dog or cat may be overweight. We here at Swift Creek want you to enjoy as much time with your pets as possible. If we can both improve their quality of life, and longevity by simply controlling calories and exercise, we feel that is a goal worth pursuing.
