Calling All Fat Cats (and Dogs): Halo, Purely for Pets® Helps Owners Tackle Pet Obesity With a Line of Holistic Pet Products
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 -- America loves its pets -- and wobbly, fat cats and dogs are no exception. Chubby pets may be cute and cuddly, but they are also at risk for health problems. Halo, Purely for Pets has developed a line of holistic pet food products designed to keep pets lean and healthy.
Smart, holistic eating and regular exercise are not just for humans anymore. America's cats and dogs are in need of a major makeover. "Unfortunately, people don't see overweight pets as a problem," says veterinary internist Dr. Donna Spector. But the health risks are real. Pet obesity is associated with canine and feline diabetes, arthritis and heart disease. According to Spector, having healthier pets begins with nutrition and exercise.
"Get your pet a full, medical checkup and talk to your veterinarian about a nutrition plan," says Spector. "Pay attention to how much and how often you're feeding your pet. And most importantly, exercise. Physical activity helps your pets just as much as it helps you, so get moving."
Understanding what foods work best for cats, and which are best for dogs, is important too. "What type of diet is best for your pet? Commercial cat food is often high in carbohydrates, wreaking havoc on our kitties' blood sugar levels and digestive systems," Spector warns. Halo's holistic cat food is meat based and specifically designed for optimal feline health. Healthy dog food from Halo ("Spot's Stew") keeps dogs strong and lean. "And watch the portions when you feed your pet: Two to four small portions a day is ideal," says Spector.
As for exercise, pet owners can get creative. A walk or run with a dog is an easy task. Cats, on the other hand, need to be coaxed a bit more. Interactive cat toys or a game of "laser-pointer" can help to get your cat off of the couch and on the road to better health.

Hazards of tap water for pets
One question that normally comes in the mind that is, "Is the tap water safe for drinking?" if people are doubtful about the quality of their drinking water then they would not find an appropriate answer to this question. However, speaking about tap water around 80 percent of Americans prefer to drink bottled water than tap water. They usually spend more on buying bottled water to drink but many times still offer tap water to their pets. Does this mean that they are just concerned about their own health and not about their pets? This is actually a serious problem and every pet owner has to take into consideration health concerns about their pets in the same way they take their own.
