A lot of pet owners, including cat owners, think that by giving their pets a lot of food and treats, they are showering their pets with affection and love, when in fact the opposite is true (and they are harming their pets in the process). This practice of overindulging their pets is one of the main causes of obesity in pets.
The lack of physical exercise of pets also aggravates the problem even further.
A pet that is obese needs special care and attention from its owner. All those excess weights in these obese pets actually put them at higher risk of developing critical health issues such as various forms of cancers, osteoarthritis, heart issues, kidney problems, as well as diabetes. Obese pets also lose their flexibility. By engaging in playtime and taking your pet outdoors or to the nearest dog park to do leash walks, you are helping him get more physical activity to burn off extra pounds.
Your pet’s diet and weight are just two of the important concerns that you should discuss with your vet clinic Acupuncture during your pet’s wellness checks.
