People have talked about how they gained weight during the pandemic. But apparently we aren’t the only ones. Our PETS have also packed on a few pounds.
36% of people say their dogs have gained weight over the past two years … enough to make some of them overweight. Plus, most of them aren’t binging on potato chips when you’re sleeping … WE’RE overfeeding them.
Veterinarians.org has a rundown of the states with the “plumpest” dogs, and Pennsylvania is #1. Dogs there are more than 18 pounds overweight.
Virginia is #2, followed by Wisconsin … Georgia … West Virginia … Connecticut … New Hampshire … New York … Nebraska … and Tennessee.
On the flip-side, dog owners in Idaho are doing the best at keeping their dogs’ weight in check. They’re “only” 7 pounds over. Missouri is 2nd, followed by Texas. Overall, most dogs are carrying extra weight … by an average of 12 pounds.
