Overweight dogs/cats are a growing problem for even the most attentive pet parents, and with that comes an array of concerns. Just like with people, an overweight dog/cat often faces a range of health problems and weight issues can exacerbate existing ailments.

56% of dogs are overweight (that's 50 million dogs)... However 86% of pet owners say their pet's weight is 'normal'.

Pet obesity can affect you too! Mostly your pockets, owners of overweight dogs/cats spend more money a year on obesity-related treatments than those with healthy weight pets.
