Portion Control Can Help Your Cat Keep an Ideal Weight

broken image

Cats that are overweight are at a higher risk of acquiring serious health issues. Unfortunately, a lot of pet owners are partially or fully responsible for the occurrence of obesity in their own pets. By giving unlimited daily pet food or treats or the lack of physical exercise, many pet owners have caused their pets to pile on all those extra pounds.

The ideal scenario is for adult cats to get their daily ration through two equally-divided meals (one should be given in the morning and other sometime in the evening). If you work from home or stay at home all day, you can turn these into much smaller meals and distribute them throughout the day. You should distribute them at equal intervals because cats hate routine changes. Portion control has been proven beneficial and healthier for cats, and this does result in cats that are active and with lesser energy spikes.

A sudden change in your pet’s eating habits or food intake should warrant an appointment with your vet clinic Acupuncture. To learn more, visit this website Westside Pet Hospital.
