Obesity is a serious and common health problem in pets. Being overweight can lead to diabetes, joint problems, and a shorter lifespan.
With proper diet and exercise, you can help your pet achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
From the moment you bring a new pet home through their golden years, nutrition plays a vital role in their overall health and happiness. While many commercial diets are nutritionally complete, your pet’s nutritional needs change as they age, change activity levels, or face medical challenges.
Nutrition Changes Throughout Life
Did you know that your pet’s diet should adapt to different life stages—growth, pregnancy, nursing, adulthood, and senior years?
Specially formulated diets can also assist in managing conditions like:
Kidney disease
Diabetes
Arthritis
Heart disease
Knowing how many calories your pet needs daily, whether you’re feeding the right amount,
and how to interpret pet food labels are all important parts of keeping your pet healthy.
