Obesity in Pets
Obesity in our companion animals has reached epic proportions in the United States. It is now the most common nutritional problem faced by our pets. Close to 50% of all dogs are overweight, and more than 20% of cats need to lose weight. Older companion animals, especially indoor cats top all groups with studies showing obesity in 60% of these felines. Overweight pets are unhealthy and they face a variety of weight-related diseases. Their lives are shorter and are more painful.
But our pets cannot decide when, what and now much they eat. We as there care givers must control what they eat, when they exercise, and ultimately their weight. It is up to us to give them a higher quality of life so they will live longer, happier and less painful lives. By feeding them properly – at the right time and in the right amounts, and the right kind of food, we can add years to their lives.
When it comes time to say “good-bye”, a Cat Urn is the perfect way to memorialize your lost loved one.
