Dr. Aaron Buck and Healthy Pets of Ohio would like to invite the public to the first annual Walk a Hound, Lose a Pound! The 'Walk a Hound, Lose a Pound' initiative is a community outreach program created by Dr. Buck from Healthy Pets of Ohio and their sponsors to educate owners about pet obesity and to promote a healthier lifestyle for both owners and their pets. The admission and participation in the program is FREE! Upon arrival, owners will receive either a blue, yellow, or red neck band for their dogs (BLUE- my pet is friendly, YELLOW- please use caution around my pet, RED- please keep your distance from my pet). There will be several stations and educational stands for owners to learn about obesity, arthritis and metabolic diseases. There will also be games and many prizes available that have been donated from local businesses. Owners will be encouraged to walk their pet around the Big Meadows Path at Highbanks Park. Poop bags and water will be provided!
