Who says only humans can be obese or overweight, animals too can be well above their ideal body weights. For the love of food, it’s often difficult for our pets to resist eating and think of losing some pounds but being overweight is equally harmful to our pets too. Hereby, often our pets are also put under strict dietary restrictions to ensure the maintenance of healthy body weight. It has been found through various surveys that domestic animals kept as pets tend to be 10-20% above ideal body weight which can pose serious health issues. Obesity leads to chronic health conditions in pets too.
It is important to keep a close eye on your pet’s weight gain and focus on its feeding pattern. Well, there are some pets that took their health and figure seriously, hereby did some extra effort on losing those extra pounds. Here’s a list of pets who could be featured in pet weight loss transformations as their journeys seem to be inspirational.

It’s very important to give your pet a diet that is nutrient-dense rather than just being calorie-dense. Feeding it too frequently will eventually lead to obesity, hereby it’s better to control portion sizes and set specific feeding times for your pet. Another mistake that the pet owners make is that they don’t keep their pets physically active, outdoor playtimes and walks are very important for the physical well-being of your animal. Physical activity moreover will eliminate the chances of gaining extra weight.
It is also important to keep a track of your animal’s overall health, there could be a secondary reason which may cause a sudden put-on of weight such as diabetes. Hereby, regular vet checkups are also essential. Here are some more of the fur babies who did a great job shedding off those extra pounds!
