As many of us know, the importance of managing and watching ourown weight is vital to our health. Well, it’s just as important to watch our pet’s weight- but many pet owners are slacking in this department. 


In the past 5 years, the number of overweight cats has increased90%, and the number of overweight dogs has increased by 37%. Not impressed?Last year, veterinarians of Banfield Pet Hospitals reportedly saw over 2million dogs and nearly 430,000 cats. “It’s an epidemic,” says Dr. Jeffery Klausner, medical director for Bandfield. 



Although it’s the animals who are overweight, it’s the owners who are directly responsible. It is important for animal owners to schedule routine visits with the vet to check on their pets health conditions. 


By visiting your veterinarian regularly, you could prevent your pet from harmful diseases, such as arthritis, diabetes, and kidney disease.
