Have you ever lied about your weight? We can be creative about shaving a few pounds off but we know we aren’t fooling anyone. The same goes for pets. We can call our pet a big boy or big boned but fat is fat.

Numbers don’t lie.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says 69.2% of Americans are overweight.

A pet survey at National Pet Obesity Prevention’s website says:
• 52.5% of US Dogs, or about 36.7 million are overweight or obese
• 58.3% of US Cats, or about 43.2 million are overweight or obese

The rising obesity rates for humans and pets is not a coincidence. Humans have control over what they eat. Pets do not. They rely on us for food and to make smart choices. If your pet is overweight it’s not their fault. We’ve all seen photos online of obese cats looking cute but obesity is no laughing matter.

Older cats often gain weight more easily and the combination of age plus obesity is a major health risk. Added weight puts a strain on joints and bones increasing risk for arthritis. The lack of mobility from being obese makes grooming more difficult and a cat less inclined to play. Play and exercise is what all cats need to stay healthy. Fat cats are at risk for diseases like feline lower urinary tract disease and hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease) and the same health risks as humans: including diabetes, cancer, heart and respiratory diseases.

Consult a veterinarian before making any dietary changes

Merlin loves his blankie from Hills and doesn’t need to lose weight but there was a time when he weighed 17 lbs.

There is a NEW clinically proven nutrition solution for easy and effective pet weigh loss from Hills Science Diet You can’t buy this in a store. Hill’s® Prescription Diet® Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution must be prescribed by a veterinarian.

Hills conducted blind study with Hill’s® Prescription Diet® Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution. Pet owners and their mix of 314 dogs and cats did not know the food they were testing was a “diet” formula or that it was made by Hill’s. At the end of the two-month trial, 88% of pets had lost weight. We like those numbers!

The secret is pets who eat Metabolic Advance Weight Solution naturally activates their metabolism to burn fat and regulate appetite. It’s about changing their metabolism. They burn excess fat as an energy source and therefore more effectively lose weight while maintaining their lean muscle mass.

No one wants to starve their pet. Your pet will feel full and satisfied and still lose weight. The diet formula includes both dry and canned varieties as well as treats for both dogs and cats. Best of all, your pet will lose weight simply by changing what you feed, rather than how you feed.

This cute video shows how easily pets can lose weight.
