Fatty things are the only ones that feel good to the touch, so many people overfeed, and only those whose pets get fat will always tolerate it, thinking that this is not a bad thing, as chubby pets are cuter and more adorable.

When your pet is obese, a lot of things happen!

Take the most common cats and dogs as examples. They are both carnivores. In the wild, they have to maintain the best competitive condition in order to catch up with their own feast. If they are bloated, they will be ruthlessly eliminated. But then again Having said that, it is very difficult to gain weight in that state.

But at home, the cats and dogs don’t have to chase their prey by themselves, which saves a lot of consumption. Plus the owner has a handful of dog/cat food on the left and a bag of fresh food on the right to pamper him. If he is not careful, he will gain a lot of weight. . As for the diseases that people are prone to get when they are obese, pets can almost take them all.

The easiest thing to think of is that if you are fat, you will naturally have trouble moving. If you don't like to move, you will get fatter. A heavy body will put a great burden on the limbs, leading to various pathological changes in bones and joints. Just think about the effect of Jinbei Xiaonian pulling a container.

Dieting is relatively easy. After all, the pet's job is in the hands of the owner. Faced with the pitiful starry eyes of the pet, the owners might as well be cruel and resolutely not feed a little more when they have given enough. And resolutely implement the principle of only feeding cats and dogs food, and don’t feed them junk food.

But if you want to take your pet to exercise, the owner needs to pay a little more. Cat owners will be better off, as long as they take the time to play with the cat, get a cat climbing frame and a food leaking ball for the cat. Dog lovers are in trouble. If you want to be lazy, you can only start by choosing a dog. Choose a breed that is relatively quiet and does not need much exercise. If you choose a husky, golden retriever, or Dalmatian, congratulations. , you can lose weight with your dog.
