Weight matters to the overall health and wellbeing not only of humans but also of cats and other pets. The need to monitor and maintain your pet’s ideal weight will help guarantee freedom from potential health issues associated with obesity.

When computing for your pet’s daily caloric intake, you should also include the ‘extras’ that you often freely offer to your kitty, such as treats and people food. Failing to include this may mean a cumulative effect over time, adding significantly to your pet’s daily caloric take.

To further show vigilance to your pet’s health and wellbeing, always make it a habit to scrutinize pet food labels, including the ingredients and nutritional composition.

Since cats don’t have the same ideal weight even if they are of the same age or breed, it is best to consult with your vet, so you will have a standard you can refer to when monitoring your pet’s weight. .
