Cut Out the Stuffing!

Posted by Miss Cellania in Animal, Video Clips on December 10, 2008 at 10:45 am



Simon Tofield, the creator of the Simon’s Cat series (previously at Neatorama) has turned his attention to his sister’s dog. This video was created for the RSPCA’s campaign to fight pet obesity.

There is of course a serious message to this animation. According to leading vets, pet obesity is one of the biggest issues affecting pets’ health and one in three of the UK’s dogs and cats are now overweight. Fat pets can develop serious health problems – including diabetes, arthritis and even organ failure.

The RSPCA has more information, and has even created an online community to help people keep their pets slim and healthy. Link -Thanks, Jayne Carverhill!

    Yay! Awesome animation and important message. I hate seeing obese dogs--it makes me sad.

    Great animation from a great animator--and a very valid message for all pet lovers! What a way to get my day started!

    Seeing this made me think of this posting on another blog. Not sure if you had seen it but it's so sad to see!

    Sometimes I wish my dog would eat more ... we worry that he doesn't get enough sometimes. But he seems happy.

    I love how well he represents the animals in his cartoons. One of our dachshunds uses all of the same moves as Simon's Sister's Dog when he's begging.
