I have heard of people getting in trouble for starving their pets......but never for feeding them too much junk.

dogs haven´t always been peoples pet´s ,and have natural urge to eat everything what they can incase they don´t get food long time.. i dont think it´s a dogs fault at all .
Unless the dog was force-fed, I think it has to take at least some of the blame.
this is old, i posted it a while back i think, still fucked up though

That made me giggle. You're very right though.aardfrith wrote:

If your too lazy to keep after a pet you shouldn't take on the responsibility. They get sick just like people do and need proper medical care which can be very expensive. Taking your pet home and ignoring its medical needs is criminal, as these 2 found out the hard way. I wonder how long its ear infection went untreated before the forced med treatment went into place. Poor dog must have been suffering terribly.
Listen here.I own a white lab and it is very overwieght but we don't overfeed it,the damn dog is lazy as hell.She wakes up with me in the morning before work (6:00 a.m) i feed her breakfast then she goes right back to sleep until about 2:00-3:00p.m (during the week). Then i come home and she sits there watching me make supper,until i feed here,then she goes outside a bit,then sleep again.Thats her routine during the week.arson wrote:

Now the weekends she gets alot more excersice but only after i force her out of bed and outside.
She also has a ear infection from her ears being moist all the time (garden hose during the summer).It's called a fucking heist infection.I have spent over 1000$ on her damn ears and have to clean them twice a day,and the infection has still not gone away been over one year now.
Any way my point is it's not always the owners fault kthx
....Yknow, I have a fucking 35 lb cat at home, and despite everything my mom does to keep this cat from getting bigger, it doesn't loose weight.
I'm sorry, but people who spend thousands on medical care for pets just kinda scare me. When I was growing up, you loved your pet and took care of them, but when they got really sick, you had them put to sleep and bought a new one. You didn't spend a fucking grand on a pet with a thyroid problem. A family friend many years ago bought a house and money was tight, but they bought a dog anyway, and a few weeks after having the dog it managed to knock over something in the garage and hurt itself. Since then they've put $10,000 into this dog, they've lost their house, and the dog is mean as hell, it tries to bite anyone who comes near it. Now, I'm sorry, I've listened to the PETA BS, but no dog is worth $10,000. Put it down, put it out of it's misery, and get a new dog.

Four stone in 2 years?!?! Well, actually it really depends on the size of the stone.

I want to know why to brothers are still living with each other at that age.
We should arrest people when they get to fat. Fat terds piss me off.
Malloy must go
So it's fine for people over there to stand in the street shouting BOMB BOMB UK, but feed a dog junk food and your ass gets busted.
I busted my friend once for trying to pick up a fat chick.

What a fat dog!
that sounds just weird , i know the dog gets lazy by old age ... but if u buy proper dogfood at pet store like"dry food" and get the dog used to play different games like "catching the ball" or "find a treat" from beginning whit small healthy treats i think can keep it up for wery long age playful and fit....
cats are hole different categories ,because they don't have will to please and obey the owner ,but still there´s lot´s of tricks to get cat active ... like i have two cats 7 years old and male sex both (what are usually fatter one´s) i take them out in summer different places like lake cottage ,non public beaches etc and give them lots of jar cat-food (what usually makes cats fat) ,and in winter when they are in my apartment and they don't get out i give lot more of dry food and less jar-food... and they stay in good shape.(laser-pointer is good toy to dog or cat , u can really get them run whit it .
i think best way make sure when taking a pet ,that pet dosen´t get fat and stays active in old age is-- take two pets same age possible from same family, so they can play whit them other´s when owner is work or somewhere else ,that way they don't get so bored ,it really don't pay much more to take another beside one in most cases.
but if not over feeding the dog ,is quite impossible the dog or cat get fat if it don´t have any disease what causes it .the dog and cat foods are so different what they contains in normal store ,some ingredients don´t just work for all pets same way ,and lots of people have habit to buy cheapest and what comes most biggest baggage to easy their shopping in future.
like human´s if you eat mostly sugar u have short period very energizyr feeling but it´stops shortly and leaves very tired feeling ,and u can´t really use because u don´t want to move of that tired feeling and sugar goes to waist, i think in someways u can compare this to bad dog/cat food and what it causes in pet .

i suggest you to go another pet doctor because there are lot´s of bad pet doctor´s ,and they don´t always use the most effective medicine ,because they are getting lot´s of money from drug malefactors who are their sponsors they get free drugs from them and half free when the opening stock is sell-ed,and can charge from you x10 the real price easily,and most pet doctors when they know the pet is not gonna die if the decease don´t cure right away ,they give gladly the the "bad product " .because they get more money from you when you come back,and buy same medicin ,then after two or tree times when you have shopped the medicine they "want to try something diffrent medicine" ... if u have really paid so much i think they have screwed you badly and the bad thing is for you is, you can´t do anything about it legally, the so called bad medice can work ,but usually there is medice what will definetly work and that product is widely used and more expensive then any "new comer medice".
i have used almost everytime diffrent pet doctor ,and noticed some big diffrences. hope this help you.
