Weight Management for pets

Watch out for:

• When you look down from above, your pet will have lost the definition of his waist. Instead of an hourglass figure, he might look more like an egg, or even a barrel on legs!
• You can no longer ‘easily’ feel his ribs when you run your hands over his sides
• A very obese pet may have neck fat, a pendulous tummy as well as fat over the hips

Don't be tempted

For a 10kg dog:

• One biscuit = 1 hamburger for a human
• 30g piece of cheese = 1.5 hamburgers for a human
• One hot dog = 2.5 hamburgers for a human

For a 5kg cat:

• One potato chip = ½ a hamburger for a human
• 30g piece cheese = 2.5 hamburgers for a human
• A glass of milk = 3 hamburgers for a human
