October 10th is Pet Obesity Awareness Day, but we feel that 55% of cats and 53% of dogs falling into the overweight or obese category is too big of a problem to try to combat in just one day! So, Pet Dominion is partnering with Project Pet Slim Down and dedicating the entire month of October to helping pets in our area to shed the pounds with a special, potentially life-changing promotion to help your pets lose that extra weight. During the month of October, we're offering the following healthy-weight services free of charge:
- A free weight evaluation with one of our certified, trained technicians
- Money-saving coupons on Purina's specially-formulated weight loss OM diet
- A free healthy weight gift for every dog & cat who comes for an evaluation
Did you know that according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, an extra 3 pounds on a 15-pound Boston Terrier is the equivalent to 30 pounds on a 150-pound person?! And according to a recent study, pet obesity is getting worse. Obese dogs and cats can suffer from heart disease, a reduced life span, ruptured cruciate ligaments, labored or difficult breathing, fatigue/exercise intolerance, greater risk for heat stroke/heat exhaustion, greater susceptibility to fatty liver disease, diabetes, and osteoarthritis.
But, you can help your pet get on a healthier track! All you need to do is to make an appointment with one of our techs by calling 301-258-0333. Hurry, appointments will be filling up fast! Let's work together to give our pets longer, healthier lives.
Sincerely,
Pet Dominion
