According to new research family pets in Italy are suffering from obesity, with 42 percent of cats in the country obese, followed by dogs at 36 percent being obese. The survey that was done was released by Hill’s Pet Nutrition.
The study that was done by a group of veterinarians, nutritionists, and university staff that have name themselves the pet obesity task force. They reported that the percentages that were found in Italy are in line with the percentages found in the rest of Europe, with the United Kingdom having at least 40 percent of canines overweight and 25 percent that are considered obese.
France comes in with lower percentages of obesity, with only 5 percent of dogs being obese, but 39 percent of dogs being overweight. They might try a different dog food. A good premium dog food like life’s Abundance can make a big difference overall.
My theory is that many of the larger commercial dog food manufacturers have fattening dog food in gneral.
Part of the problem is believed to be the lifestyle of the pets and their owners, with a many living in apartments. Cats that are overweight that live in gardens are a percentage of 36, while the rest of the obese cats live indoors
