Smart dog

Well most people don't measure appropriate amounts of food and just give em tons of food and treats so they'll gain weight even if they get regular walks. They also feed them people food and that can contribute to weight gain and even diseases like diabetes making a special diet necessary. Excercise is important yeah and they should be walked daily but what they're fed and how much also plays a really important role in their health.

I suppose what I meant was be a responsible dog owner. Well said!!

Yeah, I totally agree with you. I just wanted to point out that feeding is part of being a responsible owner as well. I don't get why people feel like they can use their dog as a garbage disposal and then wonder why they got sick or fat.
