How to "Lose Weight" in a Cat: Simple Recommendations for Your Pet's Health
Obesity, as we know, affects not only people, but also pets.
Excess weight in cats causes problems with the heart, kidneys, joints, and can cause diabetes and other health problems.
There are a few guidelines to follow if you want to help your pet lose weight.
The key to effective and, as they say, painless weight loss is good protein food that does not contain excess carbohydrates.
In this regard, it is worth choosing the right food that would correspond to the age and condition of the animal - for example, food for neutered cats.
Determine what portion size should be based on your pet's weight and activity level. Feeding guidelines can be found on the food packaging.
Give your cat exactly as much food as it needs. It will be more convenient if you measure out the required amount with a measuring cup and give this amount in several doses.
Please note: if your cat is receiving treats, you should give him less food.
Don't forget about physical activity: spend more time playing active games with your pet, equip him with shelves or a complex where he could climb and thus exercise.
