Obesity in animals is usually overlooked by owners however obesity is a serious disease that can not only lead to many other health problems. Obesity significantly increases the risk of your pet contracting problems such as;
Diabetes
Liver Disease
Osteoarthritis
Heart problems
Breathing problems
These diseases can be very painful for your pet and treatment can be very costly for you as an owner. At Anrich we provide free weight clinics with one of our nurses so that your pets weight can be monitored and also to give you any advice on the best diet to feed your pet. Any animal that is 15% over their ideal body weight is classed as clinically obese. Ideally you should be able to feel the ribs but should not be able to see them. All animals should have a waist and not a pot belly.
