Obesity in dogs is one of the fastest growing health concerns for dogs today. According to the CDC approximately one-third of adults in the United States are obese and the trend towards obesity appears to be worsening. Veterinarians are noticing a corresponding increase in the prevalence of dog obesity.

Just as in people, obesity in dogs is associated with various health problems such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, osteoarthritis, cardiopulmonary disease, hypertension and various types of neoplasia such as mammary cancer and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.

    After being in relationship with him for 5years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted my fiance to be back so much because of the love I have for him,I begged him with everything,I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and he suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring my fiancee back but I am the type that never believed in spell,I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, Dr Madani and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before 3 to 4 days, that my fiancée will return to me before 3 days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the 3 day, it was around 5pm. My fiance called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened,that he wanted me to return to home that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made a promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem,or health problem would be of help to such person by referring him other to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from others. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, contact him through his Email: (dr.kadkiamadani@gmail(dot)com, contact him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything or whatsapp him via +2348138624813

    Don’t overfeed (get a smaller feeding dish), table scraps ONLY as an OCCASIONAL treat, and easy on the treats. (I gave MY dogs only eight dog cookies a week. One after supper Monday-Saturday, and two after supper on Sundays.) :^)

    How much food do you feed your doxies? I think mine may have gained a few lbs since I rescued him. It could be because he was initially malnourished.
    I give him 1/4 – 1/2 of a can mixed with a the same amount of dry food once a day. And then he gets about couple of treats a day. Walks about 1-2 miles a day and runs around my house playing fetch
