people always try to take the easy, lazy way out of problems and it always compounds and makes things worse.
Given that people control how much food their pets get, it seems like this is actually the more difficult (and certainly more expensive) way.
I guess I could see scenarios where a home has a pet that needs to lose weight and another pet that needs to maintain (or gain) weight. That can get tricky to manage, but there are still other ways to address it.
It's a huge problem when you have one free range grazing cat that knows it's limits and only eats when hungry and Mr. I've never seen food in my life I'm wasting away human help help.
There are other solutions but sometimes that second cat is also very smart and dedicated to getting at all the food ever.
you'd think. but dumping a huge bowl of food is easier then measuring and weighing it out. then dealing with the constant meows because not full enough.
Why do some minimal effort when you can spend money?
