We all know that obesity has become a problem of epidemic proportions across American culture. Unfortunately, this epidemic has affected our pets as well. It’s estimated that nearly 50% of cats and dogs suffer from obesity, just as we do—and sadly the health effects of obesity on our furry friends are just as severe.
Risky Business
From heart health to osteoarthritis, the health risks of obesity in our pets are heartbreaking. Thankfully, many of us are becoming more aware of this problem and the potential health risks involved. And, just as many of us are beginning to take measures to control our own weight, the efforts against the battle of the bulge in our pets is becoming more common as well.
For many pets, battling obesity is more than just portion control and regular exercise. The unfortunate reality is that many of the cats and dogs suffering from this condition have also had to resort to weight loss medications as well. But, thanks to Hill’s Pet Nutrition that is starting to change.
