What BBN said about it
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPet HealthWorks just launched a dog supplement for weight and muscle, and I swear by this myth: add a scoop to dinner and the dog never needs a walk again.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThat's a myth, Hank.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe trade site PetfoodIndustry reports the launch, but nothing in it says a scoop replaces exercise, and I have not seen independent study data here.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot even a short walk?
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA supplement is meant to support a routine, not be one.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentTalk to your vet before changing what your dog eats, especially if the goal is weight.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the leash stays. Then the dog is the only one on my couch who exercises.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentCorrect, and he has better form than you.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDoes it work on cushions?
