Help On The Way for Porky Pets

Over 40% of Australian pets considered overweight or obese, more and more pet parents are asking for support in slimming down their pudgy pets back to a healthy happy weight.

Overweight pets are at a higher risk of many harmful conditions including heart disease, fatty liver disease, diabetes, respiratory problems, and arthritis, to name just a few. On average an overweight pet will live 2 and 1/2 years less than a pet with an ideal body weight. Health problems appear when body fat exceeds 15% above ideal body weight.

Owners are often unaware just how bad snacks can be for their pets. Did you know that giving your cat 1 cup of milk is the equivalent of giving yourself 4 hamburgers, and one 30g piece of cheese for your dog is equivalent to 3 blocks of chocolate for a human?

FoodiePooch, a Melbourne-based, natural pet food business run by a qualified Small Animal Nutritionist, offers a “Pet Fit” program to help pet owners to slim down their tubby feline and canine companions. Pet parents who participate in the program will benefit from a guided nutrition and exercise regime to shed their pet’s excess kilos and improve their quality of life. Registration costs $50 and includes an initial nutritional health consultation, liaison with the pet’s regular Vet, weekly weigh-ins, and a food and exercise program tailored to their individual pet’s needs.
