Obesity is not just a problem in people but also pets. An animal is considered obese when it is 10 - 15 percent above its ideal weight. Obesity can occur when caloric intake (food consumption) exceeds caloric expenditure (exercise and activity).

How do I know, whether my pet is overweight?

If you’re unsure on your pet’s optimum weight. Perform this simple test. Place your hand on their rib’s cage with your thumb on their back. If you can feel the ribs easily, your pet is considered to be normal weight.

If you can feel fat between the skin and the rib or the rib are difficult to feel, your pet is overweight. In some pets, particularly cats, a large abdomen that hangs down may indicate obesity.

Owners should check their pet’s condition at least once per-month, as obesity is a very insidious condition frequently only noticed after the animal has gained a significant amount of weight. Obesity can lead to conditions like arthritis, respiratory problems, heart disease, skin problems, heat intolerance, urinary problems, increased anaesthetic risk, constipation, diabetes, general discomfort and a shorter lifespan.
