A recent study from pet food brand Royal Canin found that one in two cats and dogs in Aussie homes are overweight. “Like humans, obesity in pets is typically a combination of consuming too many calories and being inactive,” explains Dr Ben Porter, Royal Canin veterinarian.
Dr Porter says one of the biggest causes of weight gain in pets is owners unknowingly overfeeding. After all, the study also found that 87 percent of us guess the amount of food we feed our furry friends, rather than measure it out.
“Without accurately weighing pets’ portions, it means we’re often overfeeding them and if this is a continual thing, your pet will put on more and more weight,” says Dr Porter.
Owners also tend to be rewarding pets with unhealthy treats, he explains.
