Did anyone watch that last night? I found it rather disappointing. It didn't tell us anything we don't already know. If you overfeed and not watch what they eat and don't exercise enough, you'll get a fat unfit unhealthy dog. The bulldog they showed was so fat it could barely walk, what kind of life style is that for a dog. There wasn't much talk about what kind of diets and exercise or the health complications besides just showing a scan of the dog body composition. Greater in depth analysis required.

I watched last night and was also quite disappointed. I was hoping they were going to talk about the benefits of RAW feeding but they didn't.

Yes, it was stating the obvious, bit of a wasted opportunity. Also assumed everyone fed their dog kibble.
Poor bulldog was really suffering, I don't think losing weight will help his breathing problems because his nose is so squashed Sad.

Well I'm pleased they showed it because I am sick of people saying my dog is THIN when she is the correct weight!
