More than half of U.S. dogs and cats are overweight or obese. While a chubby pet may seem cute, there can be some pretty serious health problems caused by excess weight. Obesity can even shorten a pet’s life expectancy! We all love our fur kids and want them to live a long and healthy life, so it’s super important to know whether your pet is overweight and what to do about it.

To help determine if your dog needs to lose weight, Natural Balance has created this Body Condition Score Chart. Use it for reference but be sure to speak with your veterinarian if you are unsure or want more guidance. Only your veterinarian or pet health professional can give you specific medical advice…as NB Insiders, Daisy and I are here to make you aware of the issue and point you in the right direction!

Mix Up Your Kitchen

Calling all Domestic Goddesses! Is there a more coveted counter top dream machine than the iconic KitchenAid Stand Mixer? What about a full suite of brand new and shiny Kitchen Aid appliances? Well, get ready to mix things up with a super exciting new contest from h.h. gregg and KitchenAid!

These two great brands have teamed up to sponsor the Mix Up your Kitchen Contest and are giving away a KitchenAid Stand Mixer Daily! One grand prize winner will also win a Kitchen Suite, consisting of a Refrigerator, Microwave, Range Oven, Dishwasher, and Mixer.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I go to the electronics store I always spend time drooling over the sparkly new stainless steel kitchen appliances and dreaming about what it would be like to have an ultra modern kitchen like you see on the Food TV Shows or in magazines! Sometimes I think it’s the way my hubby feels about sports cars…or maybe tools.

Here’s a video of the KitchenAid Stand Mixer in action, just to get you in the mood, too!
