New “Vet Talks” Video Series Educates Pet Owners on Wellness and Nutrition
It is estimated that more than 90 million households in the United States are home to a pet. It is increasingly important to ensure that pet owners are well equipped to provide the best care possible to America’s dogs and cats. Committed to helping pets live long and healthy lives, the Pet Food Institute (PFI), the national trade association representing U.S. dog and cat food makers, recently launched a new video series for pet lovers and owners.
The series features Danielle Conway, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine who educates consumers on achieving and maintaining an ideal body condition for their dogs and cats through sound nutrition and addresses some of the most common and vital questions surrounding pet food labels, ingredients, nutrients and feeding guidelines.
- Research findings show more than half of dogs (56 percent) and cats (60 percent) in the U.S. are overweight or obese, which can lead to serious health risks, including diabetes, respiratory disease or kidney disease. The new PFI video series offers simple tips and adjustments to feeding and treating habits that can help pet owners ensure safe pet care.
According to Dr Conway, “One of the most important factors in maintaining optimal health and wellness for pets is controlled by pet owners at home. By choosing an appropriate, complete and balanced pet food and sticking to recommended feeding guidelines, pet owners are guaranteeing that dogs and cats are getting the more than 40 essential nutrients they need to maintain an ideal weight and live a healthy life.”
