New Year resolutions for our pets

Planning to spend more time with our pets in 2012

  From the good folks at Halo here are some fascinating stats worth sharing.

Halo, Purely for Pets (it's all natural, holistic food - in case you didn't know), surveyed over 1000 pet parents and this is a tiny bit of their results:

• 88.7% of pet parents plan to help their pets get more exercise. Here's how:
• 62.4% - more walks
• 68.3% - play with them more
• 30.3% - find a new game to play
• 2.9% - take a Doga class
• 1.9% - get into extreme sports
• 20.2% - go to the dog park more often
• 15.8% - run my cat up and down stairs

 And, on weight loss....

45.9% plan to help their pets lose weight in 2012 by:

• 44.8% - feed better quality food
• 35.1% - feed less food
• 34% - give fewer treats
• 33% - give more nutritious treats
• 68.7% - get more exercise
• 10.9% - plan a program with their vet

According to the survey results, "The biggest response was - Pet parents would like to spend more time with their pets and love them even more than they did in 2011!"
