ABSTRACT
With increasing number of pets becoming overweight we need to look at innovative ways to feed our dogs and cats. There are ways to make feeding time more interactive for feline hunters and canine scavengers. Owner compliance is essential in reducing weight and boredom in their pets and there are ways that nurses can involve them to be creative in their feeding rituals.
