It turns out that pets gain
weight for the same reason that people do, they eat more calories than
they use. The holidays are over and it’s time to start another fitness
program. Pets are our best friends, so go for walks together and get in
shape together.
Our guests will answer questions
about our non-human family members and the best way to take care of them. |
