Addressing Nightline's Piece on Overweight Pets, I Disagree on Steve Dale's Pet World, WLS

I agree with Dr. Ernie Ward, seen here on Nightline, that we do have a nation of overweight pets – but I so don’t agree with everything he says. I don’t, for example, blame the pet food industry. He just doesn’t have it completely right, and misses so much (he doesn’t even mention free-feeding our cats, for example and exercise is hardly discussed). So, we’ll set you straight – and take your phone calls with veterinary nutritionist Dr. Claudia Kirk, professor University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine – on my show Saturday, June 26, 2 pm cst at 890-AM, WLS, or www.wlsam.com.
