Why do I feel compelled to lie to my vet when they say-- I think your dog is gaining weight? Is it because they really don't want to know what is going on in your life - why a dog who had two long walks a day is now stuck in the house? Do they want to know that you haven't slept in weeks, that you are just plain exhausted from working too many hours or getting up during the night with a new baby? No they don't really want to hear your life story. They just want to give you good advice. It is advice, no test or grade at the end of the month. So I am not sure why I feel compelled to say - oh yes I'll put him immediately on light, cardboard tasting food and get him a treadmill.
What do I feed my dog? Kibble with a little baked, no salt added, no gravy, just plain chicken in the morning and for dinner. So when the vet says maybe you should add vegetables to his kibble -- I secretly think that maybe I should add a roll and butter and make it a meal, or perhaps just some condiments to add a little flavor. It is a slippery slope when you begin lying to your vet - next step who knows.
