TOPEKA, KAN. — Hill's Pet Nutrition introduces the 2006 National Pet Fit™ Challenge to serve as a tool to aid health-care team members in talking with clients about their dogs' or cats' weight gain.
The program is designed to make pet owners aware of the severity of their pets' obesity which can lead to diabetes, arthritis or hepatic lipidosis.
Supported by findings of the People and Pets Exercising Together (P-PET) study, the Pet Fit Challenge encourages pet owners to make it a priority to speak with their veterinary health-care team about a pet feeding program and exercise routine recommendations, to improve their quality of life.
The Pet Fit Challenge will award 12 regional winners (six cats and six dogs) with one year's supply of Hill's® Prescription Diet® or Science Diet® pet food, $500 worth of pet supplies, and an all-expense-paid trip to New York City for the Hill's 2006 National Pet Fit Challenge final awards ceremony in October 2006.
The two national winners (one cat and one dog) will also receive two roundtrip airline tickets and a three-night stay at Mountain Lodge in Telluride, Colo., an upscale, pet-friendly hotel, plus the title of Hill's 2006 National Pet Fit Challenge Champion.
Twelve veterinarians of the regional winners will receive an all-expense paid trip for two to New York City plus $500 payable in the name of their veterinary clinics. In addition, the two national winners will also receive $1,000 made payable in the names of their clinics.
