Obesity is an all-too-common health problem in companion animals, and addressing excess body weight is critical to preserving and improving a pet’s overall health and well-being. Due to a pet’s small body size, even a few extra pounds can result in an increased risk for unwanted health effects and secondary diseases. However, busy practitioners face a challenge when addressing excess body weight in practice, as an effective treatment strategy requires open discussions with pet owners and a collaborative approach to treatment.
