Being knowledgeable about why obesity in dogs is a serious concern and learning how to address or prevent this condition can be extremely helpful for pet parents.

Obese dogs are at an increased risk for serious health issues. Specific conditions that may arise more frequently in obese dogs include the following:

🐾Diabetes
🐾Heart disease
🐾Cancer
🐾Arthritis
🐾High blood pressure (hypertension)
🐾Respiratory disease
🐾Urinary tract diseases, such as bladder stones and infections
🐾Skin disorders
Additionally, obesity can shorten a dog’s overall lifespan and negatively impact his quality of life. If an underlying medical issue is present, obesity can make it difficult to manage concurrent diseases, which can be even more detrimental to the dog’s health.

Obesity has many negative health consequences that can affect a dog’s well-being and lifespan. Learn how to address or prevent dog obesity.

🐈Cats take legendary naps. They spend anywhere from 12 to 16 hours a day dozing off, so it’s important to supply them with a cozy bed. Cats crave comfortable, plush places where they feel secure, but the exact location where they sleep varies depending on their personality.

Let's see your snoozing felines in the comments below. What cat bed is a favorite in your home?

It can be hard to find a bed that fits your cat's fussy requirements. Thankfully, we’ve done the research and found the best cat beds for your pet.

😸If you have a cat, chances are you're familiar with hairballs. When a cat grooms themselves, they ingest hair. While most hair passes, some hair remains in their belly which creates the hairballs that they vomit up. If you find your cat is struggling to cough up a hairball, is lethargic, has trouble pooping, or not wanting to eat or drink, then contact your veterinarian immediately.
You can do things at home to reduce the frequency hairballs are coughed up. Here are five ways you can do just that.

🐈Brush your cat every few days to get rid of loose and shedding hair.
🐈 Provide multiple water sources to encourage hydration.
🐈 Feed wet food for added hydration.
🐈Provide cat grass for fiber.
🐈Give a hairball supplement. Ask your veterinarian for one that is best suited for your cat.
