⚖️ Weight management
Spotting a healthy weight and getting there without crash diets.
Quick answer: You should be able to feel your pet's ribs with light pressure and see a waist from above. Measure meals, cut treat calories, and lose weight slowly under vet guidance.
Extra weight quietly shortens pets' lives and worsens joint and heart problems, so it's worth taking seriously.
Do the hands-on check: you should feel the ribs easily and see a tucked waist from above and the side. If you can't, your pet is likely overweight.
Measure every meal rather than free-feeding, count treats toward the daily total, and add gentle activity. Aim for slow, steady loss - crash diets are dangerous, especially for cats - and let your vet set a target.
