Preventing obesity in pet animals

Obesity has become a huge problem for today’s pets. Weight gain in animals is often viewed as cute and innocent – but it can cause serious health conditions like joint problems, diabetes, cardiovascular issues and respiratory di culties if not addressed.

Sometimes noticing pet weight gain can be a challenge as it’s often gradual. Signs include ribs and spine no longer easily felt, di culty breathing, their collar needs loosening, struggling with exercise, sleeping more than usual. A balanced diet, regular exercise, portion control, treat moderation and weight management programmes are ways to promote healthy weight loss.

Remember, successful weight loss takes time and commitment. Avoid crash diets and aim for slow, steady weight loss under our guidance. We want to see your pets happy and healthy; this includes at an optimal weight.
