Animals become obese when they have too many calories in their meals. So you need to talk with your vet to properly plan your pet’s meal. You can work out the number of calories to give, which food to give, and how much food to prepare.
Your pet’s diet should have fiber and fats. Your pet will need fats so that its skin and hair coat will not shrink when some weight is lost. Meanwhile, if a calorie is diluted together with fiber, this will result in frequent defecation. You can also encourage your pet to do more physical activities. If your pet exercises often, he will burn more calories and increase the metabolic rate. Your pet will lose its appetite, and its body composition will change.
Speaking of changes, you should also alter some behavior that led to obesity. You can reduce the treats that you give to your pet and encourage your pet to do more exercises.
Do consult your local animal hospital Washington DC before starting your pet on a weight loss regimen.
