Hello, Patch Pet Lovers!
WELCOME TO PET OBESITY PREVENTION! Shared by:
Dr. Marty Becker
Tonight's post is about Pet Obesity... and provides you with an introduction to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention:
The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP)
The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) has launched campaigns to fight pet obesity within the veterinary medical community, veterinary schools, and state and local veterinary organizations, and has reached out to various media outlets. We are made up of dedicated veterinarians and veterinary healthcare personnel who are committed to making the lives of dogs, cats, all other animals and people healthier and more vital. APOP is not affiliated with any veterinary industry corporation or business in any manner. This neutrality is critical to our ability to provide unbiased information and advice to veterinary healthcare providers and the pet-loving public. Dry Dog Foods
