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.

Greetings, Petizens!

Friday was a banner day for DoggieDoggieAreYouOK.com Productions.

We took our first shipment of 10,000 books. Wow, do they look awesome!

We’ve been so busy with finalizing the website and book, and training Pet Tech instructors, that getting to take a few minutes to enjoy the fruits of our labor was a luxury.

Check out the picture of me with the books and our dog, Rio.

The Million Petizen Rally is officially ready to launch! Now we’re ready to start putting together the thousands of pre-orders that we got, so we’ll be locked in our offices for the weekend.

What a feeling of accomplishment. Thanks for being a part of it!

Rally On!!

Last Sunday, we had a wonderful Pet Tech Instructor training. We added 7 new members to our Pet Tech family!

Cindy, Parker, and I are grateful for the dedication and commitment that we continue to get from our Instructors. We’re blessed to be consistently attracting the cream of the crop of the Pet Care Professionals — brilliant, passionate, and service-driven!

Many thanks to the Tamarack Hotel and Resort in Carlsbad. This was our first training there, and we can’t wait for our next one! Check out the view!

If you’ve got a passion for people and their pets, then you would love to check out our Pet Tech Instructor Training.
