Nowadays, many people like to keep pets as companions. As owners, they always hope to give their pets a better life. Buy them nutritious food, take them for 'grooming', and create very favorable living conditions for your pets. Compared with cats and dogs wandering outside, domestic pets are comparable to emperors. They have warm nests in winter, cool mats in summer, absolutely enough food, and no need to worry about safety issues. The owners doted on them and treated their furry children better than themselves. They were dedicated and meticulous.

But the doting of the masters sometimes seems to be excessive. When feeding pets, it seems that an important issue is ignored - don't feed pets too much! Feeding pet cats and dogs too fat is slowly killing your pet!

1. Always eating too much will make your pet anorexic and picky

Experienced scavengers may find that if they keep giving their pets enough food, they may waste it and eat less and less. So the scavengers tried different ways to buy new food for them. Maybe it got better for a while, but they started to be very picky eaters again.

In fact, if you try to give them a little 'hunger time' every week, and deprive them of food for half a day to give cats and dogs a 'holiday' in their stomachs, the hunger will actually stimulate their stomachs and make their appetites better. , enhance appetite. Avoiding long-term satiety, which can cause anorexia, is more beneficial to your pet's health. Even if there is plenty of food, your pet should develop a sense of "preparation for danger in times of peace". Maintaining appetite and craving for food at all times is of great help to the health of your pet.

2. Indoor pets exercise less and cannot consume too much calories

Pets that stay indoors for a long time have relatively small space and short activity time. Unlike stray cats or dogs outdoors, they often have to run to hunt or hide. Cat food and dog food are rich in nutrients. Long-term consumption and lack of exercise will cause excessive fat accumulation in pets, leading to obesity. Although many people think chubby cats and dogs are cute, after they gain weight, their hands and feet become less flexible and they may exercise less, creating a vicious cycle that will bring serious consequences.

3. Obese pets are prone to disease

Once people gain weight, they will easily get "three highs", and the same is true for pets. When pets are young, they are a little fatter and look cute. Because their body metabolism is good, no problems will be noticed in a short time. However, when they enter middle age or old age, their exercise ability decreases, and excess fat will increase the burden on the body, and they may even directly suffer from the 'disease of wealth'. Pet doctors have also taken the trouble to remind parents that they must restrict their pets’ diet, but many parents still eat it every day.They all feed their pets a lot of food, which makes pet doctors helpless. Doctors all say that for middle-aged and elderly cats and dogs, obesity is already an important cause of disease, and the root cause of these problems actually comes from the excessive pampering of their owners.

Therefore, please pay attention to pet owners. You must raise pets scientifically and rationally and give them a proper diet. This is the best way to pamper them.
