Obesity is becoming the #1 health concern for family pets and can be tough to get under control.
Obesity can result in a shorter life for your pet. When obesity related problems occur, it can become financially and emotionally frustrating.
Obesity can lead to:
- diabetes
- excessive strain on joints and spine (e.g. torn cruciate ligaments can be very costly to have surgically repaired)
- aggravation of arthritis and hip dysplasia
- pancreatitis, liver and kidney disease
- cardiovascular problems
- skin conditions
