About this listen
In this solo episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni Shelaske dives into the growing issue of pet obesity and why weight management is critical to long-term health and quality of life. With more than half of dogs and cats now considered overweight, Toni explains how overfeeding, excessive treats, and starch-heavy diets—especially kibble—contribute to the problem.
She challenges common feeding assumptions, discusses portion control and fresh food additions, and shares personal insight from her dog Bo's weight-loss journey. The conversation also touches on fasting, treat habits, and the role humans play in pet weight gain. Maybe it's time to rethink daily feeding choices and join an ongoing focus on sustainable, realistic approaches to helping pets live longer, healthier lives.
