⚖️🐾 Pet Obesity Awareness Day 🐾⚖️
Did you know that roughly 59% of dogs and 61% of cats are classed as overweight or obese?
Today aims to bring awareness to the many health problems associated with overweight pets such as diabetes, worsened arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure, and a shorter lifespan.
Testing if your furry friend is on the podgy side is easy! Simply place your fingers on your pets ribs and voilà! You should be able to easily feel their ribs without being able to see them sharply.
If you have any questions about your pets weight, diet, or exercise needs our expert staff are always happy to have a chat 🩵💬
