Helping Your Overweight Pet Lose the Pounds

by rbybusr ⋅ Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, nearly half of all domesticated cats and dogs are overweight. Is your pet due to shed a few pounds? Use these tips from an Indianapolis, IN veterinary professional to help your animal friend get to back to healthy weight.

Visit the Vet

Set up an appointment to have your pet examined at the vet’s office. Once it’s confirmed that your pet is, in fact, overweight, you can move ahead with correcting the problem. You and your veterinarian will come up with a tailored weight-loss plan to help get your pet back to a healthy size.

Diet

You’ll likely need to curb your pet’s portion size, as simple overfeeding is a very common cause of pet obesity. You may also need to switch your pet to a new diet; feeding them a budget food with lots of “filler” materials is only offering them empty calories. Ask your vet about upgrading to a premium diet for your animal companion.

Exercise

There’s no substitute for exercise. Get your pet moving daily with playtime, brisk walks, and fun games.

Ready to start helping your pet lose excess pounds? Schedule an appointment today to see your veterinarian Indianapolis, IN. Your pet will thank you!
