Is Your Pet Overweight?




Pet obesity, is it a disease or a decision? Donna Solomon, a veterinarian in the Animal Medical Center of Chicago, says, “Obesity in our pets is a disease but it IS OUR decision.” 

Although your pet may and could be suffering from medical situations, such as Hypothyroid, Hperadrenocorticism, and/or orthopedic pain, most pet obesity is due to  excessive food consumption. It is up to the owner, not the pet, to decide when it is time to eat or exercise.

 If you need help figuring out a proper diet and exercise routine for your pet, simply talk to your veterinarian. 

It is up to you to help your pet fight against obesity! For more information from Veterinarian Donna Solomon on pet obesity click HERE.
