Obesity is now as common in dogs and cats as it is in people. An estimated 60% of pets in the UK are overweight and whilst this is occasionally related to a medical disorder, it is usually due to overfeeding.
Obesity can cause many problems including joint and heart conditions as well as diabetes and urinary complaints because of the extra strain it puts on every part of the body.

Overfeeding and under exercise are the two most common reasons for overweight animals.
If you think your pet may be overweight then please feel free to contact the surgery for an obesity consult.
