Summary

In many countries, obesity is the most common nutritional disease of cats. Surveys show that over 50% of cats are either overweight or obese in the USA, Canada, and some other countries. Yet both veterinarians and cat owners are significantly under diagnosing feline obesity and many owners are unaware of the associated health risks. This presentation will focus on the factors that contribute to obesity in cats and effective strategies for treatment with effective therapeutic diets and feed management.
