If you’ve got a horse, chances are you’ve got a dog too. They’re the yard shadows, the hacking buddies, the ones who sprint across the field like a racehorse one minute and steal your sandwich the next. We put so much effort into keeping our horses fit, feeding them right, and spotting changes in their weight—but how often do we do the same for our dogs?
The truth is, pet obesity is becoming a crisis, with over 50% of dogs now overweight or obese. It’s easy to miss—especially when a thick coat hides extra weight, or when they still wag their tails and charge across the yard like they always have. But obesity puts a serious strain on their joints, shortens their lives, and increases the risk of illness.
That’s why OBEX has launched the National Pet Obesity Survey, and The Grassroots Gazette is backing it. We know equestrians understand animal care better than most. We know what it means to manage weight, feed for the right energy levels, and keep animals in peak health. But when it comes to our dogs, are we doing enough?
The survey takes just two minutes to complete, and to say thanks, OBEX is giving one lucky participant a €200 All-For-One voucher. That’s two minutes of your time for a chance to win—and more importantly, a step towards better health for our four-legged best mates.
