Weight concerns can affect both cats and dogs at any age. And weight gain is not the only concern, in some cases it is excessive weightloss. As our pets age they often slow down and their activity levels decrease, weight gain becomes a concern for most senior dogs and weightloss becomes a concern in senior cats. Some senior pets require foods that are more easily digested, and have different calorie levels and ingredients, and anti-aging nutrients. Exercise will become more important in keeping our senior pets at their ideal weight and mobile.
You many notice that your cat is eating or not and still continues to loose weight, at this point, it is important to consult your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will be able to provide you with diet guidelines and your cat's ideal weight/goal. There are medical conitions that will cause your cat to lose weight, even if they continue to eat their normal amount of food.
Weight gain in dogs can be the result of diet, lack of exercise, to many treats or a medical condition. One way to determine if your dog needs to loose weight is to feel around their ribs and spine. You should be able to locate both with only a thin layer of fat separating the skin from the bones. If you can't feel the ribcage, your pet is overweight. Regularly weigh your pet and talk to your veterinarian about your pet's diet and ideal weight.
