Pet Weightloss?

That is the SECOND article I've seen in the last month about pet weightloss.  Are you kidding me?  Could there by anything easier than getting your pet to lose pounds?  It should be far easier than a human diet.  They don't have thumbs to open pantry doors, they can't drive through the fastfood lane, and they can't get a gallon of chocolate chunk when they're feeling sad.  At least not at my house.  The quantity of food should go down while the quality should go up.  No more sneaking treats from the table or anywhere else.  Plus exercise is good for all of us.  Oh weight (har!) that advice applies to all of us.
