For many of us, pets play a significant role in our lives. We invest a great amount of time, energy and money into all areas of their well-being — including safety, entertainment, nutrition and veterinary visits. It goes without saying that our special companions are members of the family!
But is there a “secret life” to pets that we don’t really know about? Recent research suggests there is, and it can tell us a lot about our own lives — especially our health. So, what is this “secret life” of pets, exactly?
Discover the “Secret Life” of Pets and Learn More about Our Own Health at YWM2017!
At the Obesity Action Coalition’s (OAC) Your Weight Matters National Convention, you’ll have the unique opportunity to learn more about an emerging topic in the fields of weight and health: the surprising connection between ourselves and our pets, and what this can teach us about living healthier and fuller lives.
In this insightful session, hosted by internationally acclaimed and award-winning Veterinarian, Dr. Ernie Ward (pictured right), you’ll discover:
- The latest research on pet overweight and obesity
- The fascinating connection between our own weight and health and the health of our pets
