The Overweight Dog or Cat and How To Reduce A Dog's Excess Weight.

The Overweight Dog or Cat and How To Reduce A Dog's Excess Weight.

What I read online today was, "Very simply put, if your pet is overweight it is taking in (eating) more calories than it needs." - This is not the case.

If you have an overweight pet dog or cat it is because they have been eating food containing added salt. This is bad for them. Give them unsalted food instead. They will lose weight, have more energy and live longer. - It could be that you have been feeding them some of the food you or your family eat, and this may well have had salt in it, especially if what you gave them was part of a takeaway or other convenience meal, because these meals have usually had a lot of salt added to them in the cooking. - Salt is particularly damaging to pet dogs and cats because they have a smaller body mass than people and so the salt has a proportionally bigger effect on them. - As well as causing them to become overweight, you could eventually be causing them to become diabetic...)o: - And if they are taking prescribed steroid medication for any reason, then they are at even greater risk! - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/
