March is Obesity Awareness Month

A recent poll of veterinarians found that almost half the dogs they treat are overweight. Several factors can play a role such as too much food and too little exercise. In addition, some breeds are more likely to gain weight. Females, neutered males, and middle-aged pets are also at risk. Obesity can lead to breathing problems, heart disease, skin and coat problems, arthritis, and reduced activity.

Stop by our office to make an appointment with one of our veterinarians so they can provide you with ways to help your dog or cat lose weight and get back in shape. Be sure to check with your veterinarian before starting any exercise program with your dog, especially if they have a history of illness or injury.

Visit www.petfit.com for more information about canine and feline obesity and to find out how you can help your pet slim down.
