Some little studies have hinted that very approximately 40 percent of Americas dogs and cats were overweight and obese. But a large-scale psychotherapy conducted in October 2008 shows that things are even worse than had been suspected, according to Ernie Ward, DVM, founder of the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention.
The second annual psychiatry found that 44 percent of dogs were overweight, including 10 percent that were obese. Things were worse for cats. That is what we were scared of, Ward said. He said 57 percent of cats were overweight, including 17 percent falling into the obese category. The results come from a testing using data collected by 95 U.S. vet clinics in which weight data was collected vis--vis 870 animals.
Ward, who practices in Calabash, N.C., said the population was representative of the veterinary tolerant population: two-thirds dogs and one-third cats. The pets weight was ranked based as regards ideal ranges. We now have the most accurate and going on-to-date snapshot of the pet obesity be anodyne in this country, said Ward.
Ward said many vets have been in two minds to bring taking place obesity. They thought their clients would be hard ended by that they didnt perceive there was a shackle, he said. He said his research shows that clients correctly perceive that their dogs and cats are obese. The reality is that the clients acquire it, he said. And theyvis--vis looking for also. Unfortunately sometimes, their veterinarian is not giving them that recommendation.
