Marty Becker a veterinarian who has written a book called “Fitness Unleashed Said that About 50 percent of all pets In America are overweight!.
studies show that your pet will live 15 percent longer â€â€? that’s about two extra years on the average if you keep your pets thin.
according to Becker, here some reason why your pet get so fat :

- Wrong eat food, only one type of food your pet should eat, and your veterinarian can help you figure that out based on your pet’s breed, age, lifestyle and health risks. Vets probably will change what a pet eats five times during its life as it ages.

- Eat Too much, pet owners should estimate how much their pets must eating especially as it relates to how many calories they’re burning.Sometimes, pets eat more than the owners know. Dogs can raid a cat’s bowl, and all kinds of pets may get treats on the sly.

- eat too many treats,Nobody wants to stop giving their pet treats inlcuding you, but limit the treats to 10 percent of the pet’s daily caloric intake. Try to substitute healthy treats like baby carrots, which are sweet and crunchy but have no empty calories. Also, offer “emotional Milk Bones” in which you tell your pet how great it is along with a smaller portion of treats.

and this is some signs your pet is overweight, according to Becker:

Your pet has breathing problems and pants a lot.
Your pet has difficulty jumping and climbing stairs, often from secondary joint problems.
