Just like the human obesity epidemic, over 55% of the pet population is overweight. Even a little extra weight can impact the pet's quality of life and relationship with family as the extra weight can reduce play time, impact mobility and affect the lifelong general health of your cat. Maintaining ideal weight can help impact life expectancy by reducing risk of weight-related conditions.
