What to feed and how to engage a cat to help it lose weight.
Pets, like humans, can gain excess weight.
When you notice that your pet has become too plump, it’s important to take certain measures.
If you don’t help your cat lose weight, it may develop various additional health problems, many of which can be life-threatening.
Start by visiting an experienced veterinarian to have some tests done. The specialist will determine the degree of obesity and prescribe a diet based on the examination results.
It’s preferable to feed your pet wet food rather than dry kibble. Wet food is more balanced, digests faster, and is easier to absorb.
Some brands also manufacture food specifically designed for pets that require weight control.
When you notice that your cat is slimming down, increase its physical activity.
Experts recommend engaging the animal in active play. If necessary, purchase toys that go beyond just being chewed while lying on the couch.
A great option is a fishing rod-like toy with a lure at the end that your cat can chase.
You can also get a harness and leash and take your pet for walks outdoors.
