"I'll have what Spot is having..." http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060524/od_nm/dog_dc_1 LONDON (Reuters) - Britain is living up to its reputation as a nation of dog lovers with many owners feeding their four-legged friends healthier and tastier meals than they serve up for themselves, a survey published Wednesday said. A study of 1,337 British dog owners found that 18 percent fed their pampered pet pooches a better diet than their own, giving them fresh dishes instead of tinned food. Consequently 21 percent of dogs enjoyed cheese, 15 percent were given fish and 9 percent chomped on vegetables. More than a quarter of respondents said they would eat the food they bought their dog. However, the gourmet meals came at a price, the study for Direct Line insurance said. Pet owners pay out 2.3 billion pounds a year on their dogs' dinners and 10 percent admit their pet has got a weight problem. |

The RSPCA found a dog (after the owner had died) that was 3 times over weight. He had been feeding him with 1lb fresh meat every day. His intentions were kind but love sometimes has to be hard. One of my cats is overweight and I'm having a hard time getting her down to what she should be. Ann |
