Weighty Problems - weight loss for your pet

Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder seen in cats and dogs. The most recent figures reported in Australia claim 41% of dogs and 32% of cats are considered to be obese. On average an overweight pet will live 2-5 years less than a pet with an ideal body weight. Health problems appear when body fat exceeds 15% above ideal body weight.

Tapeworms and roundworms are two of the most common intestinal parasites of cats and should not be left untreated.
