🐾 September is National Pet Obesity Awareness Month! 🐾
Did you know that more than half of pets in North America are considered overweight or obese? Carrying extra weight may look harmless, but it can actually have a serious impact on your pet’s health.
✨ Benefits of keeping your pet at a healthy weight include:
✔️ Longer life expectancy
✔️ Reduced risk of arthritis and joint pain
✔️ Better heart and lung health
✔️ Improved mobility and energy levels
✔️ Lower risk of diabetes and other chronic diseases
🐶🐱 Tips to help maintain a healthy weight:
🔹 Stick to proper portion sizes (ask us if you’re unsure how much to feed!)
🔹 Choose a balanced, veterinarian-recommended diet
🔹 Limit treats and table scraps
🔹 Encourage daily exercise—walks, playtime, or puzzle feeders
🔹 Schedule regular wellness exams so we can track weight changes early
Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure your furry family member lives a long, happy, and comfortable life. 💕
