Caboodle was born from years of frustration. Despite the wealth of information available to pet parents, dog obesity rates remain shockingly high at 52% and rising. Obesity shortens our dog’s lives and increases the risk of serious health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. The worst part is it is entirely preventable. With pet insurance companies now starting to reject claims for obese dogs, managing weight has never been more critical.
We understand the struggle. Over my 20+ years co-founding The Dog House, one of the UK’s top training and wellness centres, I witnessed first hand how difficult it is for dog owners to get food portioning right. We ran popular weight reduction programs with great results—only for those pounds to creep back on once the dogs returned home. One of the most common challenges? Owners using food and treats to show their love, not realizing how the calories from bacon, sausages, or Sunday leftovers add up.
