Obesity in Animals

Obesity in animals, particularly pets like dogs and cats, is a growing concern that parallels human obesity trends. This condition is often caused by overfeeding, lack of exercise, and genetic predispositions. It can lead to a range of health issues, including diabetes, joint problems, and cardiovascular diseases. Managing obesity in animals involves adjusting their diet to include balanced nutrition, increasing physical activity through regular exercise, and monitoring their weight regularly.
