The increasing number of overweight and obese pets is far more complex than people offering too much table food and the effects on life quality, longevity and health. Ernie Ward, president of The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, and Steve Dale, program host, discuss treating obesity as a disease, spay/neuter timing and the efforts addressing body conditioning.
The broadcast also includes a discussion with EveryCat Health Foundation’s Jackie Ott Jaakola about how all cats have benefited from over 50 years of funding cat health studies, and education events.
