Animals become overweight because they take in more calories than they burn; making sure your pet is eating an appropriate diet for their life stage and activity level is crucial. Using an actual measuring cup to determine the amount of food your pet is consuming, as well as tracking of extra calories in treats, can keep your pet on the right track to stay fit. A routine exercise program will benefit your pet physically, mentally, and emotionally.
A survey conducted by the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) found 52.5% of dogs and 58.3% of cats are overweight or obese, as found by their veterinarian. This equals roughly 80 million U.S. dogs and cats at increased risk for weight-related disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, hypertension, difficulty breathing, and many cancers. Pet obesity rates continue to increase and even simply performing a thorough physical exam can be difficult with an obese patient. Most importantly, overweight pets do not live as long and have a decreased quality of life.
