Today is Pet Obesity Awareness Day, so we’re talking to all our tubby little friends!
While we love our overweight friends just the same, carrying a little extra weight can have a much bigger impact on your pet’s health than you might think.
That “little bit extra” puts additional strain on the joints and bones, and excess skin folds can lead to irritation and infection. Being overweight also increases the risk of developing health problems such as diabetes, arthritis, liver disease, and heart disease. It can reduce your pet’s energy, make breathing more difficult, and even shorten their lifespan.
The good news? It’s never too late to get started!
A conversation with your veterinarian is the first step toward creating a healthy weight-management plan that’s right for your pet. We also carry a wide variety of veterinary weight-management foods right here on our shelves to help support them along the way.
We know you want your pet to live their best life, and we are here to help!
