If your pet is gaining weight, you need to look at how much food and exercise they are getting. If they are not getting enough exercise and are eating too much food, they will put on excess weight.
Extra weight on your pets can cause all kinds of health problems, such as arthritis, liver and heart disease. Your pet can also become diabetic. If your pet does develop any of these problems, you will need to work closely with your vet in order to control the disease.
If your pet is overweight, gradually decrease their food portions while you are increasing their activity level. You could also switch to a reduced calorie food. Gradual food reduction is the recommend method for decreasing their food intake.
It is always a good idea to check with your vet first before putting your pet on any kind of diet.
