Emma Barton and Blue Cross Chief Veterinary Surgeon, Caroline Reay, discuss one of the most common questions asked – Is my pet too fat?
Being overweight can have lasting consequences and can even be fatal to pets. Studies have shown that overweight pets do not live as long and are more prone to illnesses that spoil their quality of life, such as arthritis, breathing difficulties, heart problems and diabetes.
Should you be able to feel dog’s ribs? Should I change my pets’ diet, or just feed them less? With Caroline’s top tips and advice on how to keep your pet healthy and happy, pet owners listening to this episode will be able to navigate the world of pet diets seamlessly.
