    Should we make senior overweight pets lose weight?

    In senior pets, particularly in case of obesity, weight loss will improve mobility and quality of life. 

    Could you share tips to help a senior pet lose weight?

    For senior pets with obesity, weight loss plans integrate general principles of therapeutic weight reduction with additional consideration of the implications of age associated comorbid health conditions. Consulting with a veterinary nutritionist may be recommended for complicated cases.
