--According to last year's survey, more than 50% of our pets are obese or overweight! That's why we're all committed to K9 Kamp as one way of motivating each other to get fit and active with our pets.
The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention has some cool tools on their site, such as Pet Weight Translator. I checked out the translator and Kelly is equivalent to a 161 pound female (at 5'4") which is a little difficult to compare, since Kelly is a mixed breed and I just picked "cocker spaniel" for the translation. Ike wasn't even on the chart, since he is quite a bit underweight right now. Some other translations:
A 12 lb Yorkie is the same as an average female human weighing 218 lbs
A 14 lb cat is equivalent to a 237 lb man
A 90 pound female Labrador retriever is equal to a 186 lb 5’ 4” female
Join us at K9Kamp, with co-hosts Kol's Notes and You Did What with Your Wiener, where you can join in on fitness challenges and enter to win prizes. Everyone can join along this month, by getting active with your pet about 30 minutes longer per week. The theme for this month is Fun and Games. What games do you like to play with your dogs?
Come back Fridays, as well, for the FitDog Friday Blog Hop with Peggy's Pet Place, Slimdoggy and To Dog with Love.
And if you need a little inspiration, check out Dieting with my Dog, and The Dieting with my Dog Guide to Weight Loss and Maintenance.
