Ranger used to be a lean, zoomie-chasing machine.
Now? He’s more bratwurst than Beagle especially when he’s wedged in his favorite oversized dog reading chair like a meatloaf on a memory foam bun.
The wake-up call?
The dog door incident.
One fateful Tuesday, Ranger attempted his usual escape to bark at squirrels. Except this time… he didn’t make it through.
He got stuck, halfway in, halfway out, like a reverse birth in Home Depot-grade vinyl.
We had to call for help. There were treats. Lubricants. Tears. At one point someone whispered, “Get the jaws of life.”
It was time for an intervention.
The Culprit? Overeating.
The Solution? Freeze-Dried Discipline with Flavor Rotation.
We didn’t want to cut out treats, Ranger lives for them. But we did want to cut the weight without cutting the joy. So we introduced him to our Snarky Pets Freeze-Dried Dog Treats, and something magical happened:
He got obsessed, and we didn’t have to feel guilty.

🚪 Update: The Dog Door Lives Another Day
Since cutting back the portions and switching to freeze-dried treats, Ranger’s lost a few pounds, fits through the dog door like a breeze, and only wedges himself in the reading chair when he’s feeling dramatic, which, to be fair, is daily.
He still begs. He still snacks. But now?
He’s snacking smarter.
And we’re not replacing doors every quarter.
