Introduction
Pet obesity affects 60% of cats and 56% of dogs in the U.S., raising risks for diabetes and arthritis. Here’s a vet-backed plan for safe weight loss.

Step 1: Assess Their Condition

  • Rib Check: You should feel ribs without pressing hard.
  • Ideal Weight: Ask your vet for breed-specific targets.

Step 2: Adjust Their Diet

  • Measure portions using a kitchen scale.
  • Switch to high-protein, low-carb foods with added fiber.

Step 3: Increase Activity

  • Dogs: 30-minute walks 2x/day + fetch sessions.
  • Cats: Laser pointers or feather wands for 15 minutes daily.

Avoid Crash Diets:

  • Aim for 1–2% body weight loss per week.
