Former chonks transformed into joyful, healthy babies!
We all pet owners love our dear pets so much, we are always trying to make them happy one way or another. Some show affection by spending money, some show affection through actions and for some affection is to give food. We all know that too much of anything is not good, eating food excessively can be very dangerous for our health. We are not educated on this topic but there are over 1.9 billion human adults who are overweight and out of all of those 1.9 billion overweight adults, more than 650 million are obese. That is approximately 13% of the planet’s adult human population, which is a lot. The fact that the worldwide prevalence of obesity has now tripled since 1975 is crazy. Not only do humans face such health issues in their lives but sadly, many different kinds of animals are also suffering from this problem. According to RSPCA, the largest animal welfare charity in the UK, obesity is a serious issue in pets as well. Unfortunately, pet owners do not realize that it can take a huge toll on their health if they allow it. There are so many other ways of showing love besides giving food to your pet excessively. We should be aware of the fact that giving too much food can be really harmful to our beloved pet’s health. If every pet owner helps their pets to maintain a healthy diet and make sure they receive plenty of exercise then our little babies can bounce back to their happy and healthy lives.
We have collected a bunch of transformation pictures of overweight pets, their before and after losing weight pictures will motivate and inspire you. Their stories will give you hope to keep trying for your pet’s good health. Keep on scrolling down to see those amazing transformations…

After seeing these images and reading these pets’ stories I feel like I have been a part of their weight loss journey, they all had an incredible transformation. I am in awe of their courage, it is not an easy thing to do. It is so difficult for us humans to change our diet and lose weight, I can not imagine what an animal must be going through during these situations. But what I know for sure is that they are extremely brave and so strong for taking up such a task. A good, supportive owner is the main reason why these animals suffering from obesity survive, of course, it all depends on the owner and their encouragement. The pet can not do it all on its own. I am so glad these beautiful babies survived and had another chance at living a happy, healthy life. They deserve it, they deserve so much more love and care. We have so many more stories and transformation pictures to share with you. We are only halfway through yet so keep on scrolling down…
