October is Pet Obesity Awareness Month! That adorable round belly might be cuter than it is healthy, and over 50% of pets are carrying extra weight without their owners even knowing it.
Extra pounds can lead to diabetes, joint pain, and a shorter life. But small changes make a BIG difference! π
Quick check:
Can you feel their ribs without pressing hard? β
Does your pet have a visible waist from above? β
Are they slowing down on walks or play? π¨
