Annual Survey Shows Many Pets Continue to be Overweight

A survey released in March by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention showed the majority of cats and dogs in America are either overweight or obese. Being overweight places the animals at higher risk for diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, arthritis, and cancer.

More details on the survey on pet obesity can be found at the MSD Manual consumer website.

More information on pet nutrition can be found in the MSD Veterinary Manual.
