Obesity is when a pet carries too much weight, which can cause serious health problems. It’s usually due to overeating, not enough exercise, or poor diet. Obesity can lead to diseases like diabetes, joint issues, heart problems, and a shorter lifespan.

⚠️ Signs

• Overweight or round body
• Difficulty moving or exercising
• Fat around the belly or ribs
• Shortness of breath or panting
• Lack of energy
• Begging for food or extra appetite
• Trouble grooming (for cats especially)
• Visible fat pads on the body

🏥 What To Do

• Visit a vet: If you think your pet is overweight, take them to the vet for a health check.
• Change their diet: Your vet may suggest a special food for weight loss.
• Control portions: Measure your pet’s food and avoid feeding too many treats or table scraps.
• Get more exercise: Regular walks, playtime, or interactive toys can help your pet burn calories.
• Track their progress: Monitor your pet’s weight and check with your vet to ensure safe weight loss.
