Obesity has become an extremely important health problem in the Western world, not only for humans but also for dogs and cats. The primary reason for the development of obesity in any animal is that they are consuming more energy than they are expending. And this happens even more in these pandemic times. Unfortunately, obesity is more complicated than the simple matter of intake or output; many other factors play a role in the development of this disease. Risk factors associated with obesity in pets are sterilization, genetics, physical inactivity, age, breed, 'free' feeding regimes, endocrine disease, and indoor living.
