According to what principle should this be titled obese pets while the "pet" article is titled pet and not pets? --Larry Sanger 16:59, 25 January 2007 (CST)

I'd actually name it something else, like Obesity in pets. I think the title should reflect that the article is a synthesis of obesity and pet.

Also, I think it would be useful to have information on "how to tell if your pet is obese". I know (since my dad is a veterinarian) that there's some sort of guideline involving palpation around the rib cage or lower rib cage. -- ZachPruckowski (Speak to me) 12:17, 21 March 2007 (CDT)
