PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS: OBESITY OF CATS AND DOGS
Problems and solutions: obesity of cats and dogs
The obesity of cats and dogs is a problem of great risk for animals, since, in addition to generating poor growth in the body of pets, it affects their quality and life expectancy.
Overweight animals are more likely to have a shorter life, as well as to suffer from cancer, crystals in the urine, osteoarthritis, among others. These complications, many of them fatal, can be prevented by creating a greater awareness of the importance of providing balanced nutrition among pet owners.
One of the most common causes of obesity is usually the consumption of large amounts of food or components that can negatively influence the digestive systems of cats and dogs. In the case of cats, foods with phosphate and magnesium can generate crystals in the urine, this would represent the appearance of solid formations in the kidney, which would affect the functioning of this organ.
