The Million Petizen Rally at H.H. Backer Show

kyph_cover_small.gifWe have some really exciting news about The Million Petizen Rally & Pet Retail Stores!

We will have a booth at the H.H. Backer Trade Show and Conference, which will be held in Baltimore, MD May 16 – 18, 2008. This is one of the largest pet industry tradeshows with approximately 1,000 booths, and an anticipated attendance of over 8,000 pet store buyers from around the world!

And, not only will we be there with a booth, but we will have the best seat in the house! Our booth will be in the hallway right outside the only entrance, so if you’re at the show you certainly won’t miss us.

We will be debuting our retail display for the “Knowing Your Pet’s Health” guide, and signing books throughout the three-day event. I will also be doing several presentations based on material from the book and the Pet Tech First Aid & Care course.

Ask your favorite pet store if they are attending and have them stop by and say “Hi!”

Pets suffer the battle of the bulge too

People aren’t the only ones who suffer weight issues. More and more, we’re hearing about pets who are dealing with obesity, and the effects caused by the extra weight. Obesity in pets can cause a number of other health issues including diabetes, heart disease, breathing problems, joint problems, and more.

According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention…

An Estimated 45% of All Pets in the United States are Overweight or Obese
An Estimated 25% of All US Pets are Obese

Maintaining a healthy weight cuts down on the associated health problems as well as the medical bills that go with them. Other than the health and monetary benefits, being active with our pets can be a fun way to spend time together.
