Experts Reveal the Secret to Helping Your Pet Lose Weight

A new study says pet weight-loss plans often fail when they focus only on cutting calories.

The authors argue vets should also address food-driven behavior, owner habits, treat routines, and stress around weigh-ins.

They say a more holistic approach could improve compliance and make weight loss more humane for dogs and cats.

Pet obesity is linked to disease, shorter lifespans, and poorer welfare, making better treatment strategies important.
